By 1924 Dobson's drawings show him concerned with making a three-quarter length figure in a contraposto pose. Dobson was further influenced by his travels in Ceylon with the novelist L. H. Myers later in 1924. Before the work was even completed Roger Fry and Clive Bell hailed it as marking the rebirth of British sculpture. The Tate possess a bronze study for the head of Cornucopia, and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, has a bronze study for the whole figure.
