Nearly two years after Marochetti's death, a loan exhibition was held at the South Kensington Museum, consisting of small models for the sculptor's statues and groups. A reviewer for the Athenaeum (no.2191, 23 Oct. 1869, p.535), after decrying the "flashy design" and excessive "cleverness" of these works, picked out the model for the Princess Elizabeth as an example of these, in his view, negative qualities. He found it "very 'French' and showy, yet effective to those who might as freely accept it for the statue of a dead girl  cast ashore from a wreck as the monumental effigy of a princess who died in prison". This critic even presumed that it "was originally designed for such a subject".

 
Bronze reductions of the effigy were made, one of which was donated to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford by a Mr George Wyatt of Newport in 1893. This was itemised, as no.452, in Nicholas Penny's 1992 Catalogue of European Sculpture in the Ashmolean (p.125), though at that time it was described as "untraced". The work has subsequently re-appeared and now makes a fine showing among the museum's increasingly representative collection of 19th century bronzes. A letter from the donor claimed that "only two models of this bronze exist, one at Potsdam, presented by the Queen to the Crown Princess of Prussia, and this". The Potsdam bronze has not so far been traced.  A small model of the entire monument, complete with the architectural embrasure and its fictive prison bars, was also once in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle, though it was not found in a search of 2006. The monument was also frequently the subject of commercial stereoscopic photographs, obviously a favourite tourist attraction for visitors to the Isle of Wight.
