Remarks:
The sculpture in Jasmine Hill Gardens was collected from the 1930s to 1962 by Benjamin and Mary Fitzpatrick. Original pieces and reproductions were commissioned by the Fitzpatricks of Greek artists. Once the home of the Fitzpatricks, the site is now a privately owned public garden. IAS files include a related article from the East Montgomery Weekly, Sept. 30, 1992 and a brochure from the Gardens which lists each sculpture. Images on file in IAS shows only two of the 35 sculptures, a fountain and a winged female figure.
