However more recently it has been suggested that it infact bears a closer resemblance to Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland. \r\n\r\nThis three-quarters bust depicts a man looking to the left with the front hair waved back and rolled up in a single curl over each ear and the back hair tied in a queue. He wears a clock over a plain breastplate and a high folded stock round the neck. The Star of the Order of the Garter appears in the folds of the cloak.\n\nThe bust is carved by John Nost the Younger (1713-1780), who was born into the van Ost (van Nost) family of sculptors, was trained in London by Henry Scheemakers (1670-1748). He travelled to Dublin in 1749, and spent much of his subsequent working life in Ireland. He executed a number of portrait busts and public monuments, including a statue of George III for Dublin City Hall.","physicalDescription":"Bust, white marble, represented three quarter face looking to the left.
