The model for the female sculpture was my aunt, Vera Ferguson. Her father was a friend of William Reid Dick and a fellow-Scotsman. When I was younger she had photos of herself posing for the photo session, which was pretty risqué back in the day! She also had a miniature of the sculpture, given to her by the sculptor. Sadly the photos have long since gone missing. The facial likeness, as I remember her, is perfect. If anyone is interested contact me: email@example.com

Very interesting - thank you very much for the information. I will add it to the main post in due course.

You may be interested to learn that it was my uncle, Jack Crutchfield, b 1909, who posed for the male statue on the offside of the stallion referred to above by Phil Graham. Jack (b. John Robert) and my father, Kenneth Crutchfield, b 1901 were both born in London but spent as much time in the countryside as possible and both worked with horses. Kenneth modelled for Charles Sargent JAGGER and Hermon CAWTHRA in the 1920s and early 30's and we know that Reid - Dick finished a piece of Jagger's work still in progress at the time of his death. Models used to get recommended by sculptors and I'm sure that this was the case here. I can well see the resemblance between my uncle and the finished piece. If you would like further info do feel free to get back to me.
