Stock No.7478
A most attractive patinated bronzed cast-iron Baroque style figure of a small girl reminiscent of the illustration by Emile Bayard of the child Cosette from Victor Hugo's " Les Miserables". It was almost certainly made by the Coalbrookdale Foundry. There are holes in the base which point to it once being part of a larger piece and the figure of the girl is identical to the one depicted in the fourth image below of a Coalbrookdale fountain base which sold at Sothebys Billingshurst on 26th May 1987.
English, the Diamond Foundry mark on the base indicates1854 image five attached below.
