"Child and Swan", (sculpture), by J. S. Westmacott, in the Royal Academy Exhibition, 1869. 'The group of a "Child and Swan," by Mr. J. S. Westmacott, another of our most tasteful and meritorious younger sculptors, has a subject involving difficulties of composition which have been skilfully met, but could not have been entirely overcome so as to attain the balance and unity we are accustomed to look for in sculpture'. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
