Description

The Monument to Harry Ripley is a memorial created around 1914 by the sculptor William Reid Dick. It features a bronze figure of a draped female mourner, whose head leans forward on her raised left arm, and is set on a rough granite plinth. This monument commemorates Harry Ripley, who died in 1914, and the figure is likely the one titled 'Silence' that was exhibited at the Royal Academy in the same year.
