All three wax busts were made by the same sculptor, until now not known, but there could be a connection with: Grinling Gibbons, ( 1648-1721 ) because Grinling Gibbons has worked for: William III for Hampton Court and he also made the famous monument in Westminster Abbey of: Sir Admiral Cloudesley Shovel, so there were connections between Grinling Gibbons and the depicting persons.
