Miss Agnes Gladstone and her Brother Herbert, Children of the Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., marbl Creator: Harvey Orrin Smith. Miss Agnes Gladstone and her Brother Herbert, Children of the Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., marble group, alto relievo" - by A. Munro - from the Exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1856. Carved portrait of the children of British politician William Ewart Gladstone. 'Among the English sculptors who have risen of late to support the school established by Banks and Flaxman, Mr. Munro is by far the ablest. He draws his inspiration from classic sources, and imbues his conceptions with a poetry and domestic beauty of his own. He has also a fine eye and hand for transferring his conceptions from clay to marble. This year he is seen to great advantage. His marble alto-relievo (No. 1352) of the daughter and son of Mr. Gladstone, the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer...is most happily executed. Our young sculptor delights in infantine grace and beauty'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
