Viscount Leverhulme

Lever was forty-nine when this portrait bust was carved. By then his company lever Brothers was an internationally successful business. Lever was a friend of the sculptor Onslow Fordo and purchased several works from him. Some of them are on display in this room. This image of Lever captures his sense of purpose and dignity.这座肖像胸像雕琢完成之际，利弗年方四十九岁。彼时，他所执掌的利弗兄弟（Lever Brothers）公司已是享誉全球的成功企业。利弗与雕塑家昂斯洛·福多（Onslow Fordo）相交甚笃，曾从其手中购得多件作品，其中部分如今陈列于本展厅内。这座利弗肖像胸像，尽显其坚定的使命感与庄重的气度。
