Needless Alarms by Frederic Leighton at Leighton House
As seen at Leighton House Museum: https://www.rbkc.gov.uk/museums/leighton-house
"Leighton produced three sculptures for exhibition, of which this was the last. The subject is a young girl surprised by a toad, who sits alongside her feet. Leighton has shown the girl in the action of recoiling: her nude body gracefully bending away from the creature in an elegant arch as she peers down at her feet. The model for the figure was Lena Dene, who was the younger sister of actress, Dorothy Dene who modelled for Leighton on many occasions."
Date: modelled 1886, cast 19th century

Designed by George Aitchison (1825-1910) who was President of the RIBA 1896-99. The house dates from 1864 but Aitchison continued to modify and extend it, in accordance with his client's wishes, until 1881. Recently restored by Purcell Miller Tritton.

View from the rear garden. The large area of glazing in the centre illuminates Leighton's studio. Leighton (1830-1896) was one of the Victorian era's most famous - and busiest - artists.

The garden of the Leighton House Museum
The garden at the rear of the Leighton House Museum. The garden is now mainly grass - presumably when Lord Leighton lived in the house there would have been flower beds where there is now grass.
