Marika, the Harwood bust of a man is the subject of some discussion by David Bindman et al in the new Image of the Black in Western art volumes. In fact it is the cover for the new 18th century volume.

Also, there is a version at the Yale Center for British Art and this bust is an ongoing investigation for the curator of sculpture there.

Between those two sources, he should be able to find out a little more.

Best Wishes,

Subject: Bust of a Man

Dear Dr. Sherwood,

I am an independent researcher with a great interest in the two sculptures
known as Bust of a Man purportedly created by Francis Harwood in 1758. As
you can see from the attached document, I neither believe the sculptures to
be of Harwood's creation nor from the 1750's. I know my theory is a bit
strange, yet I think it is plausible given the mystery surrounding these
objects.

I know that you did an investigation in this regard and I wonder if you have
information which either supports or refutes my theory. I do note further
that Joseph Nollekens did a bust for the Northumberlands which apparently
remains undiscovered.


Humbly submitted,
Jerry Leibowitz
