The Busts of Oliver Cromwell, Part 14. The Anonymous Marble Bust at the Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight.

 Marble Bust of Oliver Cromwell Anonymous Sculptor. at the Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight.

Update with new photographs taken by the author.

Probably Mid - late 19th century. 

On a later Belgian Red Marble Socle.

This bust is perhaps based on an original seen by George Vertue in the Rysbrack Studio in 1732 which is now missing.

There are minor variations in these busts but they all appear to have come from the same studio

For three other versions of this bust The Russell Cotes Museum Bust, The Milwaukee Arts Museum Bust and the Sir Richard Tangye bust in the London Museum see my previous posts -
