Laurent Delvaux (1696-1778), was one of the first 18th century Flemish sculptors to leave his native homeland in search of patronage in England. He arrived in London in 1717 when he was only 21 years old and quickly won a number of commissions for funerary monuments in Westminster Abbey. In 1722 Delvaux made a life-size marble statue of Hercules for Richard Tylney, Viscount Castlemaine from which the present lot may well be a copy.
