FORD, Edward Onslow
(b. 1852, London, d. 1901, London)

Folly

1886
Bronze, height 89 cm
Tate Gallery, London

The sculptor presented the embodiment of Folly as a pubescent girl poised precariously on the edge of a dangerous rock. Ford's casting allows enormous detail and a sensuous surface. It was made using the lost-wax process.
