Bust of John Wesley
1800-1850 / Bust / Ceramic / Sculpture / Wesleyana
Ceramic, painted
c. 1830
A bust of John Wesley produced at a time when Wesley mementoes became ever more popular and cheaper. Gone is the naturalism and artistry which was a hallmark of early production, especially in busts produced by and after Enoch Wood (1759-1840). Note the pink tint of the hair and uninspired facial painting.
