Terence Farrell

Terence Farrell (1798 – 19 March 1876) was an Irish sculptor, now best known for his portrait busts and works at Wrest Park for Earl de Grey.

Farrell was born in Creve, County Longford, and in 1810 brought to Dublin and enrolled in the Modelling School of the Dublin Society, where he studied under Edward Smyth and later John Smyth. After school, he entered Thomas Kirk's studio, where he continued his studies for nearly seven years as a pupil, and subsequently as an assistant. In 1826 he made his first contribution to the Royal Hibernian Academy, and about 1828 he established his own workshop. He exhibited regularly in the Academy, where he was elected an Associate in July, 1851, and a Member in May, 1859. He is buried in St Andrew's Church, Westland Row, Dublin.
