This is one of a number of studies on the theme of Peace, linked
to the second and third of four designs drawn up by Connor for
the Lusitania Memorial’s Angel of Peace. It also recalls the veiled,
allegorical figure of
Peace
which, with a figure of Patriotism, flank
the Angels of the Battlefield public memorial inWashington DC
which Connor executed in 1924. Anastasia Balfe is the model.
