Description
The Statue of Circe, created around 1895 by Alfred Drury, is located at the west end of the central garden in Park Square, Leeds. This bronze statue features an octagonal plinth adorned with Classical motifs, a Greek mask, three swine, and a vase with spilled grapes. The nude female figure of Circe, who is known for transforming Ulysses' companions into swine, is missing part of her mirror and drapery. The statue is mounted on a 20th-century brick base. Originally, it was displayed in the Queen's Room of Leeds City Art Gallery, and photographs from around 1910 show the statue in its complete form.
