This marble bust, created by John Gibson in 1862, depicts Anna Brownell Jameson, a renowned art historian and writer. Gibson, known for his neoclassical style, captures Jameson's intelligent gaze and refined features with a focus on realism and detail. The bust, likely sculpted from Carrara marble, showcases Gibson's skill in portraying the subtle nuances of human expression within the limitations of a sculpted form. The draping of the garment around Jameson's shoulders adds to the composition's sense of elegance and grace, highlighting the subject's intellect and refinement.
