Lot Essay

John Rhind, ARSA (1828-1892) was a Scottish Sculptor elected as an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy just shortly before his death in April 1892. Rhind was known for a number of significant commissions including portrait heads of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Sir Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. His public and civic monuments in Edinburgh include cornice carving at 128 Prince's Street, several of the figures adorning the Scott Monument and the statue of Sir William Chambers on Chambers Street. The present reliefs are almost certainly maquettes for one of his last commissions - that of Agricultural and Shipbuilding reliefs for the New County Hall, Paisley (circa 1892).
