Summary

[edit]
Description Town Hall, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, built 1853-1858. The tympanum of the front door was sculpted by Thomas of London. The exterior of the building has a number of architectural carvings by Robert and Catherine Mawer, although Catherine was credited with the work by 1858. The heads were described as masks in the 1850s, but they represent various ancient Greek mythological characters, and are also portraits of contemporary people. This is a portrait of Robert Mawer with a feather in his cap, symbolising the honour of the commission to work on the Town Hall, before he died in 1854.
