Another post in the occasional series of sculpture and sculptors depicted in two dimensions.
A fairly prolific watercolour artist and book illustrator.
The drawing includes a very clumsy depiction of Borghese Gladiator (in the Louvre since 1807).
The assistant appears to be working on a ledger or gravestone.
