Description: | Impressed 'Wedgwood' mark and the initial 'K'.
A Wedgwood black basaltes Figure of Voltaire. The dramatist standing on a rocky mound base with his left hand on his hip and his right hand holding a book, wearing a long cloak and a hat. Thought to have been modelled by William Keeling working from drawings perfected by Thomas Bentley, taken originally either from a statue by Jean-Antoine Houdon or a similar figure by the scultor Jean-Claude-Joseph Rosset du Pont.
