Catherine Mathie Lamond
|
Artist: |
Baron Carlo Marochetti
|
Catherine Lamond (1807-1857) was the wife of Robert Lamond, who had been secretary to the committee responsible for erecting Marochetti's statue of the Duke of Wellington in Glasgow in 1841. Robert Lamond was also a writer and politician, secretary of Glasgow infirmary and an important figure in the development of the railways in Scotland. This bust of his wife was executed by Marochetti in 1849, shortly after he settled in England, and, like the portrait relief of the Glasgow politician, James Oswald from the same year, shows the sculptor's determination to re-establish links with a city in which he had enjoyed that earlier sucess.
The bust was presented to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in 1943 by the children of Robert Peel Lamond.
