Joseph Nollekens (1737 - 1823) Castor and Pollux back (V&A 2007)

            NOW VIEWABLE AT ORIGINAL SIZE.

Castor and Pollux is a copy of an antique Roman statue. Apparently lots of sculptors made copies of it; this one is by Joseph Nollekens and is currently in the British Galleries in the V&A.

I would DEFINITELY be lying if I said I didn't photograph this view because of its apparent gay overtones and cute buttocks.
