About this model
The Townley Greyhounds is a marble statue of a pair of greyhounds playing together. Originally from Italy (Monte Cagnolo, Lazio) and excavated by Gavin Hamilton, the dogs became part of Charles Townley's collection, who basically changed the name of the sculptures for prestige and to increase the value of the work. The work was acquired from Hamilton in 1774 and was found as a pair of statues. The other sculpture was required for the Pope but Towney would have been able to keep this one if he wanted it. Unfortunately very little research is written about the provenance of this sculpture, as apparently its passing through the hands of Townley, Hamilton and The British Museum takes precedence.
