tooth

Tooth. An anonymous stipple-engraved representation of the so-called “Copper Horse” statue of George III in Windsor Great Park, adjacent to Windsor Castle, on a base of unjustified undressed or semi-dressed stone, in an expansive parkland with extensive walkways. The equestrian statue was commissioned by George IV (reigned 1820-30), sculpted by Sir Richard Westmacott (1775-1856) during 1824-30, styled after a statue of Marcus Aurelius in Rome (175 CE), and was erected in 1831, early in the reign of William IV (1830-37). Inked in black and sepia.
