Since ''Untouched With Any Shade of Years'', was exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1913, this beautifully sculpted life size art work by Mortimer Brown, still on its studio base, seems to, have fallen into obscurity, till its recent discovery and re-attribution by Culvertons.
Sculpted from plaster, this artwork is in remarkably good condition with only one ''small'' repair situated, {not in direct view), at the point where the infants ankles meet - this can be easily restored and disguised if so desired.
Signed and dated, ''Mortimer Brown 1913, R.B.S. '' to the reverse ( please see images) -
