Literature

Anne Compton (ed), Charles Sargeant Jagger: War and Peace Sculpture, IWM 1985, ill p 13

McAllister, I. G. 'Rising British Sculptor: Charles Sargeant Jagger', Studio International, Vol 54 (Nov 1914-Feb 1915), pp 84-99, ill p 93:

'Bacchanalian subjects have an attraction for Mr. Jagger, as giving plenty of scope for the imaginative faculty with which he is well endowed. One sees it at work in the small drawing in sanguine chalk reproduced among the accompanying illustrations; there is something of Carpeaux's spirit in the joyous quality of life and movement and living flesh, whilst the arrangement and variety of types, and above all the ease with which it is done cannot fail to arrest attention.' (p 96)

The subject is from the Rubayat of Omar Khayam. It was drawn c 1913.
