Fifteen models of ancient Greek, roman and other Temples, including this one, were originally thought to be restored from existing remains and excuted by John Nash. However probably these models were not made by Nash himself but by a French artist commissioned by him. These models are probably made by Jean Pierre Fouquet and his son, François Fouquet, model makers of ancient monuments in Paris in the early 19th century.
