'This is one of four bas-relief medallions in the Academy Exhibition by R. Siemering, of Berlin, a German sculptor of repute. These roundels are very effectively bold in relief, their treatment is marked by feeling, taste, and knowledge, and they are well suited either for isolated ornament or for architectural embellishment. The lines of the present composition are particularly happy and harmonise perfectly with the bounding circular mouldings'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
