One of a pair of white Carrara marble busts of the young Catherina Barbara, Lady de Tabley. Richard James Wyatt was apprenticed to J. C. F. Rossi and joined the Royal Academy in 1812. As a successful sculptor he had his first exhibition at Tabley House in 1818 before travelling to Paris to work under Baron Francois Joseph Bosio. In 1821 Wyatt worked in Canova’s studio in Rome and shortly thereafter set up on his own. Wyatt’s style was profoundly Canovan. His first commission, believed to be a nymph 'Musidora', was bought by the Duke of Devonshire in 1822, completed in 1824, and remains at Chatsworth House. Once he gained recognition, he became one of the most sought-after sculptors in Rome. It is probably at this time that he received the commission from the 2nd Baron de Tabley.
