About MeThis male figure represents the sense of sight. He is wearing a white coat lined in yellow and there is a length of pink fabric wound over his right shoulder and leg. He is seated on a bower of moulded daisies with a telescope between his feet and his right hand rests on the head of an eagle. The square ormolu base is decorated with three leaves and a rose bud at each corner.
