Title

Awakening of Iolanthe-A study in Butter

Description

Along with the Dreaming Iolanthe, Caroline Brooks also created the Awakening of Iolanthe in 1878. It bears a striking resemblance to Dreaming Iolanthe though created two years later. The amount of detail in the sculpture shows that she knew the medium and had gained the skill to sculpt full sculptures.
