Presented in 1820 in a plaster version, then in marble in 1821, Edward Hodges Baily's Eve at the Fountain was a great success and led to the artist being elected a member of the Royal Academy in London. He joined John Flaxman's studio as an assistant in 1807, and was admitted to the Royal Academy Schools in 1809. On the strength of his academic training, Baily became one of the leading exponents of English neoclassicism. The marble offered to the Royal Academy as a "reception piece" (now in the Bristol City Art Gallery) brought the sculptor European renown when it was presented at the Universal Exhibitions of 1853 and 1862. A second marble version is kept at the Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen.
