One of four bronze statues by Andrea Carlo Lucchesi, the caster's name ponly partially legible as A Pach... Tranda(?) of London, placed in the E gardens of the Castle.
The statue of cast bronze portrays a naked nymph quite properly rejecting the idea of plunging into the pool.
Included as a work of sculpture of the aesthetic movement of the late C19-early C20, one of four embellishing the formal gardens carried out for Lady Howard de Walden at Chirk Castle.
