About the sculpture
This wax portrait relief, representig an unknown man is made by David Morrison, in England in ca. 1840 - 1850.
Wax is a cheap material, easily worked, as well as light and easily transportable. It is also intended as a kind of object of desire, covetable and collectible. It is the ideal kind of object for a Kunstkammer in that it is small and light enough to be held in the hand and passed from person to person, and that it is attractive to the eye. A famous sitter would also increase its attractiveness.
