Statue of 'Dorothea' by John Bell exhibited at the Great Exhibition in London of 1851. Displayed among foliage with other exhibits visible behind the plants. Made from Parian ware. Subject matter originates from Miguel de Cervante's novel Don Quixote, part 1: 'They espied a youth dressed like a peasant stooping to bath his lovely feet in the rivulet… the lovely maiden looked up…'. This was the most successful of Bell's works.
