Attributed to William Grant Stevenson: A rare Victorian carved white marble group of two water spaniels and a whippet
circa 1870 signed Stevenson and with later white marble plinth 81cm.; 32ins high by 94cm.; 37ins long by 84cm.; 33ins deep Although a number of Stevenson's are recorded as sculptors working in the second half of the 19th century, largely in Scotland, William Grant Stevenson, (1844-1919) is specifically known for his animalier pieces. A member of the Royal Scottish Academy he exhibited a bronze stag in 1894, now in the Edinburgh Museum. He also sculpted a monumental stone statue of William Wallace in Aberdeen. This unusual group would have been undoubtedly have been an individual portraits commission for a family's dogs, interestingly the marble separates into five different sections so that the dogs maybe viewed together or as individual groups.
