parian figure of Narcissus 
 Height 30.5cm (12")

 

Parian figure of Narcissus by Copeland and Garrett and dated 1846.  The figure, after a sculpture by John Gibson, shows Narcissus seated on a rock and gazing at his reflection in a pool. 

This was one of a small number of items selected to be produced for the Art Union of London in 1846 (50 copies were originally made in 1846 to be distributed as prizes) to great critical and public acclaim.

This figure continued to be produced through the second half of the Nineteenth Century by the subsequent firm of Copeland with a Copeland mark.
