Pegram entered the Royal Academy Schools in the mid-1890s where he won a number of prizes. He was an accomplished sculptor working in bas relief and on medals as well as free-standing sculpture and portrait busts. His work, like this sensitive portrait bust, is firmly in the tradition of the New Sculpture Movement which held significant sway at around the turn of the twentieth century.
