One of these is dated 1837, and is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum: it is thought to be the work called ‘Group, Maternal Affection’ (no. 1179) that he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1837. The Fitzwillam’s marble is a copy of this, carved four years later. 'Maternal Affection' was so popular that it was also reproduced on a reduced scale in Parian ware, a newly invented type of porcelain. This made the composition available to aspiring middle class collectors. The son of a ship’s carver, Baily began his career as a modeller in wax. He spent seven years in John Flaxman’s studio, acknowledged as his favourite and most devoted pupil. He came to fame in 1818 with his statue, 'Eve at the Fountain', but his most famous work is the portrait of Lord Nelson atop Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square. reference term-106851 adlib-term-106851 e155f998-1e0b-3f2a-851c-24f44d05dd59 19th Century, Mid reference term-107139 adlib-term-107139 9fd5ef13-3709-388f-b925-702787340e32 literal England England country England reference term-37963 adlib-term-37963 929f6c25-5677-3624-90d4-f6d882da98ec white marble Height cm 91.5 reference media-206360 adlib-media-206360 c8b4d797-d744-3d6d-8f1e-ca48c1083360 jpeg aa/aa37/large_m_3_1974_1_201402_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 819 width pixels 1024 1742598948463 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/mid_m_3_1974_1_201402_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 400 width pixels 500 1742598948463 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/m_3_1974_1_201402_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 820 width pixels 1025 1742598948463 1 image jpeg aa/aa37/preview_m_3_1974_1_201402_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 200 width pixels 250 1742598948463 1 image 0 media image reference term-110220 adlib-term-110220 e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942 figure group reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference number literal name Sculpture UK Sculpture UK Ref. see p. 120 and illustration, p. 121 pp. 120-1 reference publication-200000793 adlib-publication-200000793 226a441e-7df2-35d1-9d8b-55e0fa28cab5 Maternal Love.
