Chantrey recorded in his ledger that this bust was commissioned by 'I.H. Turner Esq. Rooks Nest' in June 1832 and was presented to his wife, Mrs Turner, in May 1833. The present bust is most likely to be a later cast, rather than the original plaster model made by Chantrey as part of the production process (current whereabouts of which unknown).
