An artist has unveiled plans for a new statue of a child refugee which will sit on a bench in a Sheffield park.
Boy with Dove, created by Anthony Padgett, is a life-sized bronze figure of a child holding a dove and wearing clothes from the end of the 19th century. The statue will sit on a new bench – placed near the entrance of Weston Park near Weston Park Museum – which will have a subtle brushed steel inscription plaque.
He said: “This simple figure allows interaction with visitors to the park and marks a number of serious issues of the history of Sheffield as an international leader in the fight against fascism, the provider of a sanctuary to refugees and the cause of peace. “It complements existing statues in the park both in style and theme and reflects that a children’s hospital is just across the road.
