| Description Of Item | This bust is the work of Mark McCue and was presented to the college by the Al Hammadi Hospital, Riyadh, on 10 January 1997. This bust can be seen at the centre of the College’s Sir Robert Sibbald Physic Garden.
This work represents one of the few twentieth century pieces to be found in the College's collection of busts, which is dominated by pieces from the nineteenth century. The bust appears to demonstrate a style which is more impressionistic than that seen in any of the other busts which tend toward realism and, sometimes, idealised depictions of human features.
A portrait of Sibbald can also be found hanging inside the College.
Artist: McCue, Mark |
