  • Marble Bust of a Young Lady as Flora by John Adams-Acton
    Located in Lymington, Hampshire
    Marble Bust of a Young lady as Flora by John Adams-Acton (English, 1830-1910) Signed and dated: JOHN ADAMS-ACTON FECT ROMA 1864 with inscription ELLEN A.

Adams-Acton exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy from 1854 until 1892, where his sitters included William Gladstone...
