The little child who, weary with wandering in pursuit of wild flowers, has thrown itself down on a grassy bank, and has fallen asleep. Over the child is seated a faithful watcher from above, whose eye detects the approach of danger; and, involuntarily, as it seems, she stretches her hand over the little sleeper to shield it from harm.
James Sherwood Westmacott was a British sculptor during the 19th century and part of the Westmacott dynasty stemming from Richard Westmacott (the elder). He was born in London on 27 August 1823, the son of Henry Westmacott, a monumental sculptor, in turn the son of Richard Westmacott (the elder). He studied sculpture under his uncle, Sir Richard Westmacott, rather than his father, Richard being by far the more eminent sculptor. He made a study trip to Rome in 1849. He died at Longlands in Chesterfield on 16 August 1900.
