Bust of Pope, by Roubiliac, and "Cupid and Psyche", by Flaxman, from the [Samuel] Rogers Collection, 1856. '...three articles of sculpture - Roubiliac's original Bust of Hope [Alexander Pope], in terra-cotta. It was bought by Mr. Skeffington, on Monday last, for £143 17s. Next are two marble statuettes of Cupid and Psyche. The position of Cupid is somewhat strained; but that of Psyche is graceful and pleasing. The Cupid, was executed by Flaxman for Mr. Rogers as a companion to the Psyche, which was adopted from the monument of Mrs. Tighe, author of a poem entitled "Psyche." Both were purchased by Mr. Farrer, on Monday last, the Cupid for £115 and Psyche for £149 5s'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
