LADY SCULPTOR
GIFT TO TATE GALLERY
(From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, 12th September. Sir Joseph Duveeii has presented to the Tato Gallery, for the collection of works by modern artists, a sculpture by Lady (Hilton) Young. Tho work selected is a bust of the late Earl of Oxford and Asquith. It is believed that this is the only piece of sculpture by a woman that has been placed in a national collection. Lady Young is the wife of Sir Hilton Young, the Unionist M.P. for Sevenoaks, and was the widow of Captain Scott, the Antarctic explorer. A pupil of Eodin, she was last year elected an associate of the Royal Society of British Sculptors. Prominent examples of her public work are her statues of Captain Scott in Waterloo Place, and of the Hon. C. S. Bolls, one of the pioneers of flying, on the sea front at Dover.
