Title
The Damerian Apollo.
Description
English: Mrs. Damer, seated in profile to the left, chisels the posterior of a large and realistic Apollo standing in profile to the left holding a spear, the left arm extended. A little girl (left) in 'profil perdu', gazes at the Apollo in astonishment. On a pedestal (left) are two nude figures, one full-face, the other in quasi-back view, drawn with extreme realism. Beside them (left) is an armless torso on a terminal pillar. These three statues are 'Studies from Nature'. On the right is a bust of a child's head in profile to the left, on a pedestal inscribed 'A Model to make a Boy from'. Beside it lie a book, 'Sketches of Different Parts'. Behind Mrs. Damer (left) is a grinning whole length figure of 'Pan'. There are also two figures on tall pedestals: a Hercules and a headless figure, and a bust. All the figures in the studio are completely nude. Mrs. Damer wears gloves; her mallet is raised to strike her chisel. 1 July 1789

Licensing[edit]

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
