John Rattenbury Skeaping, R.A. (1901 – 1980) was an English sculptor and equine painter. A leading figure in the move to ‘direct carving’, using the process of carving to suggest the final form, he was closely associated with Henry Moore, Richard Bedford and Barbara Hepworth (to whom he was married from 1925-1933).
Skeaping modelled fourteen animal figures for Wedgwood in 1926. Ten were made, from 1927.
