A more than 200-year-old statue has been defaced with blue crayon
The damaged sculpture in Worcestershire, western England, was first discovered on Easter Saturday but after taking advice from conservators and cleaning the statue, the National Trust was able to remove the crayon on Thursday morning, it added. A memorial to landscape designer and architect Lancelot “Capability” Brown, also situated in the grounds of the historic Croome estate, was similarly vandalized with blue crayon and the National Trust said it is still in the process of cleaning it.
” Designed by renowned British sculptor John Bacon in the early 1770s, the statue of Sabrina is carved from Coade stone and sits in a grotto that was originally decorated with exotic shells, coral and gems, beside an artificial serpentine lake 1.5 miles long. The date of the sculpture’s manufacture is disputed, although it is believed to be either mid-1780s or 1802, according to the National Trust.
