GEORGE GARRARn, A.R.A. (85 



models, all of which received the warm approval 

 of critics. At the Royal Academy in 1829 he 

 showed a bronze equestrian statue of the Duke of 

 York, which the Sporting Magazine eulogises in 

 these terms : — " An inimitable performance. The 

 attitude and spirited character of the horse are in 

 accordance with the noble and commanding figure 

 of the equestrian, whose likeness to the lamented 

 original is as faithful as anything can be con- 

 ceived." An excellent example of his work as a 

 sculptor, is a bas relief in marble, 1 5 inches by 9 

 inches, representing a group of four horses, which 

 is in the Elsenham Collection. 



It is hardly necessary, after what has been said, 

 to lay stress on the remarkable range of George 

 Garrard's abilities. He was a painter in both oil 

 and water colour, equally capable whether he 

 elected to portray domestic animals or wild, por- 

 traits of men, sporting subjects or landscapes. He 

 executed busts, statues and groups in clay, marble 

 and bronze, and was equally clever in handling so 

 large a subject as a public monument, or one 

 requiring such fineness of touch as a medallion ; 

 and finally he engraved, with no mean skill, plates 

 from his own pictures. 



George Garrard died in his sixty-sixth year on 

 8th October. 1826, at Queen's Buildings, Brompton, 

 London,
