Sculpture and Bronzes

Cottonian collection

This is a small collection comprising a small number of works from the 17th to 20th centuries. In terms of quality the most exceptional items are the 17th and 18th century European bronzes.

19th and 20th century

There are a few sculptures from the late 19th and 20th centuries. Though not outstanding in quality it does boast two works by Jacob Epstein and a small marble by Barbara Hepworth. Also from the 19th century is a series of plaster works - statues, medallions and plaques cast from Antique and Renaissance originals.

Miniatures

This is a small but attractive group of largely 18th and 19th century miniatures, including two by Richard Cosway.
