Hampton Court Palace, in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames, England, UK: a mother prepares to breastfeed her baby son in this poignant detail of 'Abundance' by British sculptor Francis Derwent Wood (1871-1926). The composition is one of three statues forming a sculptural centrepiece to the Rose Garden at Hampton Court, the historic royal palace beside the River Thames founded in the early 16th century by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. The Rose Garden was formed in the 1930s on land used from 1689 as a kitchen garden to supply vegetables and herbs to the court of King William III and Queen Mary II, who reigned jointly in the late-17th century before Mary's death in 1694. Before that, the site was part of the Tiltyard, where competitors trained for jousting tournaments and other entertainment during the 16th century reign of Tudor monarch, King Henry VIII. Francis Derwent Wood was born in Keswick, in the English Lake District, studied in Germany and taught at the Glasgow School of Art. He produced much architectural sculpture, including four large roof figures for the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, and for the Britannic House in London. Freestanding sculpture by him is in various galleries, with a bronze cast of his 1907 Atalanta statue in London's Chelsea Embankment Gardens. During the First World War, he opened a clinic to make thin copper masks for wounded soldiers who had suffered hideous facial injuries. D1343.B7023
