About the Item
A lifesize neoclassical style plaster library bust by English sculptor, John Ternouth, signed with maker’s name to the reverse and inscribed with the date ‘1832’.
The bust depicts British politician, Thomas Gardiner Bramston (1770-1831), in the neoclassical manner and likely served as the maquette for the marble bust which originally resided in Shire Hall, Essex.
Made following Bramston's death, Ternouth here captures the politician's likeness in plaster, immortalising his presence and features within British history.
John Ternouth (1796-1848)
Born in Hampshire, John Ternouth studied at the Royal Academy in the early 19th century, later becoming a student of Sir Francis Chantrey. As a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy, he became renowned for his portrait busts, creating sculptures for various local dignitaries in Essex.
Ternouth’s most famous work can be found at the base of Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square, London, in which he was tasked with designing one of the four relief panels depicting the Battle of Copenhagen.
