Sir Francis Burdett at The Scottish National Gallery, Scotland

myminifactory

One of the most caricatured British politicians of his time, Burdett emerged as an icon of social and political radicalism and a leading advocate for the 1832 Reform Bill that extended voting rights to more citizens. The endorsement of Burdett, a highly respected national figure, was a major coup for Ternouth. A former assistant to renowned sculptor Sir Francis Chantrey, Ternouth was then building a reputation as an independent artist. When displayed at Rossie Priory, this bust served as a powerful symbol of the Kinnaird family's own liberal politics. This object is part of "Scan The World".
