History:
This sculpture is a model for the monumental bronze figure of Apollo which is the focal point of one of Milles' best-known works, the Sun Singer monument to the Swedish poet Esaias Tegnér, commissioned in 1918 and finished in 1926. There is another cast of the present model in the collection of the Tate Modern.
