Statue of Euricles and the tortoise, Studley Royal Park
After much searching found that this statue dates to around 1730 and probably comes from the workshop of Andries Carpentier a Flemish artist working in London. Euricles' right foot is on a rock with a tortoise climbing up it. The statue is also known as Endymion as in the later poem by Keats. I've not figured out the ambiguity! Behind is the Temple of Piety probably by Roger Morris an assistant of the architect Colen Campbell.
