has gloss | eng: The Naked Ladies are a statue complex on a rockery and water cascade in the gardens of York House, Twickenham, Middlesex, England. The larger than human size statues depict eight Oceanids and a pair of aquatic horses. They were carved in the fin de siècle style from white Carrara marble and probably came from Italy in the late nineteenth century or very early twentieth century. Originally they were part of a larger set of statues that was subdivided after the suicide of the original purchaser. |
