Sir Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a Bengali writer and poet who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. Richard Buckle observes, 'Epstein modelled Tagore's head over life-size with big, bold strokes, so that the poet with his intense stare and flowing beard took on the monumental grandeur of a baroque apostle' (R. Buckle, op.cit., p. 149).
