A connoisseur, collector, and one of the most generous philanthropists of the nineteenth century, Sir Richard Wallace was the last resident of the Château de Bagatelle in Paris. The Château has been undergoing an ambitious restoration since 2021 under the care of the Fondation Mansart and I am delighted to have been commissioned to sculpt a monument of Wallace to be installed there. The maquette was presented to the public in June 2024, and I look forward to beginning work on the full-size monument.
