Nadauld was evidently working at Chatsworth and Castle Howard
simultaneously. This is proved by a document headed 'Nadauld hal the
carved work that I have done for the Rait honourable the Earle of
Carlile at Henderskelfe since the 21 of June 1705 til the 15 December
1709' ,which includes the item 'foure little figures called the foure
Sezons made at This list includes various garden sculpture
not mentioned in previous accounts, ' a figure called and 'an
hurne in the Raywood ' to the East of the Castle. Nadauld also mentions
'a figure called Apollo' (Fig.1C8) for which hs was paid £16, and which
can be identified with the figure representing that subject at the
end of the lime avenue on the South side of the Castle. This statue
is supported on a pyramidical structure, decorated with very fine
relief work, which can, on stylistic grounds, be attributed with
certainty to Nadauld, most notably by comparison with 'the figure
called Diana in the West front' which must have been moved to the
East front when Thomas Robinson designed the new West wing, where it
survives today. (Fig.109). The sporting goddess is represented
accompanied by a dachshund, a dog originally bred for hunting purposes,
and the baa-relief of the tree beside these figures, betrays identical
stylistic features to the trees in relief on Apollo's pedestal, although
in 1727-8 Daniel Harvey was paid £8 for 'Renewing apollo's Pedistall' 52
Apollo is not the only free standing sculpture to survive by
Nadauld at Castle Howard. '2 figure called Seres en Flora, a figure
called Pallas upon the pediment'are still to be seen aove the North
facade. 'k figures called Vestales' are in the four niches on the
North front, '8 heads or busts set upon the Corniche the Coppullo'
are also still in situ, as are the '2 Medailles and Shefers in the
South front dare' and the coat of arms in the pediment of the South
front. Nadauld also charged £28 for 'figures called Seneco and Socrates'
which may peraps oe identifiable with two statues in the front hall.
Nadauld also supplied a Baccus, a Cicero and a Plato for £lk a piece,
but attempts to identify these figures have not yet succeeded.53
