Charles Noke Terracotta Maquette Figurine,  Ellen Terry as Queen Catherine
Moulded terracotta maquette modeled by Charles J. Noke (English, 1858 - 1941), depicting British stage actress Ellen Terry in the role of Queen Catherine, from Shakespeare's "Henry VIII". The unglazed sculpture captures the subject in costume with stylized detailing across the dress and headdress. The figure is mounted on a shaped plaster base. A handwritten paper label affixed to the underside reads: Ellen Terry in Queen Catherine 1892. Noke, a prominent figure in early Royal Doulton design, produced a number of actor and character studies during his tenure.
