Sir Jamsetji Jeejeebhoy; Sculpture, marble, London, 1856

Marble bust of Sir Jamsetji Jeejeebhoy resting on a marble socle on a circular base with mouldings. The Parsee benefactor wears a turban and is shown with a half torso wearing robes onto which is pinned an oval medal with the profile of Queen Victoria.

This bust appears to be the one given by Crawford in 1856 to the Oriental Club on Hanover Place. In their guidebook 'THE ORIENTAL CLUB AND HANOVER SQUARE' by Alexander F. Baillte, F.R.G.S.,

'Of our busts, probably the most finished is that of Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy, which was presented to the Club by the late Mr. R. W. Crawford, on several occasions Chairman of our Committee. The workmanship of all details is very delicate, even the fine needlework of the tunic being beautifully traced, and the medallion worn on the breast, as in the case of the portrait {q.v.) of this philanthropic Parsee gentleman is a finished likeness of Her late Majesty the Queen. This bust in marble was produced in the studio of the celebrated sculptor Baron Marochetti, and was one of his designs for the statue of Sir Jamsetjee, afterwards erected in Bombay.
