The elegant round marble in question, depicting two sweet figures of children, is to be linked to the production of Edward William Wyon (1811 - 1885)
Son of Thomas Wyon the Elder (1767-1830), an English engraver who became chief engraver of the seals, has two brothers Benjamin Wyon, a engraver of seals and medallist and Thomas Wyon the young, also medallist and engraver for the royal mint; became famous as designer of tokens of the Bank for England and Ireland and for coins for the British colonies and for Hanover.
Edward William Wyon, who had studied at the Royal Academy since 1829, becoming a sculptor and regularly participating in the exhibitions of the Academy from 1831 to 1876. Sculptor and engraver specializes in the realization of busts, especially portraits, but also in small finely carved medallions, which often depicted children or putti in play, appealing to the aesthetic delicacy favored by Victorian taste, as it happens in the present round. He also worked for Wedgwood, a fine ceramic manufacturer based in Staffordshire, England, creating designs that were reproduced on the various products.
Many of his works, as in this example, have an application on the back of a small bronze engraving, to certify its authenticity.
