This remarkable sculpture was acquired by the Cooper family to be displayed in the Georgian setting of their country house, Cowick Hall near Goole. The sculptor Rafaelle Monti, based in Milan, was well-known for producing veiled ladies. The Coopers visited Milan in 1879 but there is no evidence amongst their receipts that they purchased this from him and unfortunately, the sculpture is unsigned. It is now thought to be the work of Giovanni Strazza.
