The one on the right is similar to Flaxman's Dancing Hours, except flat footed, so don't know if he was the modeler for this one. They were so popular & versatile, they were appropriated for other designs, even by other makers.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bow brooch is a pretty thing. I don't recognize the image. I'm assuming it's marked 'Wedgwood'? Despite the somewhat feminine appearance, to my eye it looks more like Apollo, with influence from the Apollo Belvedere. Definitely gender ambiguous under close examination, but I expect figure reads as female from ordinary viewing distance. 'Classically styled female' may be the only ID. Even the Wedgwood Museum is vague when it comes to assigning an identity to most subjects.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
