		Nollekens work was always of an incredibly high standard, and because of this a tale has evolved regarding the Rockingham statue.
		It seems that some of the stitching on Rockingham's left boot is missing and it is said that Nollekens was so upset at the oversight that he went and hung himself.
		History however tells us that Nollekens in fact lived to the ripe old age of 86, so it seems he was not as upset as the tale suggests.

	Laurence Sterne by NOLLEKENS, Joseph
		The bust of the English novelist Laurence Sterne (1713-68), which Nollekens worked on in Rome in 1776, follows classical models in being limited to the depiction of head and bare shoulders.
		The iris is not just suggested and left blind in the eyeball, as in Houden; Nollekens hollows out the pupil except for a small point that shines in the light.
		This late-antique treatment was further developed by sculptors of the Baroque, and Nollekens uses it almost without exception in order to provide his bust with a lifelike expression.

		The marble bust on the right is one of a relatively large number of formal representations produced by the workshop of a sculptor named Joseph Nollekens; the drapery is intended to give him the dignity of a Roman orator.
		Gillray, on the other hand, made the most of Fox's paunchy, untidy appearance, swarthy skin and shaggy fl eyebrows, as well as his reputation for being a hard-drinking gambler; in the image on the left Fox appears almost mad, but he was in fact a man of extraordinary charm, intelligence and good temper.

		A copy of the Rodanini Medusa now housed in the Glyptothek museum in Munich, Nollekens’ work is a mesmerizing contradiction.
		Far from hideous, this Medusa is coldly and serenely beautiful, with two neatly entwining serpents framing her face; only the sightless eyes and parted lips convey a powerful and unsettling sense of menace.
