[Vwoolf] News relevant to Virginia Woolf and Bloomsbury

[Krista Schepis]

Greetings,

I believe I have found information about this statue on this page,
https://www.charleston.org.uk/charleston-room-by-room/, clicking "The
Studio" as the room of interest.

This site tells us: "The walls are deliberately painted in neutral tones as
a background for paintings. The fireplace decorations, a pair of florid
caryatids painted by Duncan Grant onto wooden panels around 1935, provide a
focus for the room. The tiles behind the stove are by Vanessa Bell,
c.1925-30. The figure of the Chinese Goddess of Mercy, Kuan Yin, on the
mantel shelf is a cast of a sixth century AD original which was owned by
Roger Fry."

Not sure if that's the one you were thinking of....

Best,
Krista Schepis
