The Royal Academy in London had one such copy, now at the Courtauld Gallery in London. It also had an écorché in this pose, cast in the late 18th century from the body of an executed smuggler and hence nicknamed "Smugglerius".

Famous quotes containing the word copies:

—Julia Marlowe (1866–1950)
“Not infrequently, we encounter copies of important human beings; and here, too, as in the case of paintings, most people prefer the copies to the originals.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Love is one and the same in the original; but there are a thousand different copies of it.”
