The New Houses of Parliament - Bas-reliefs in the Prince's Chamber - the Death of Sir... 1857. Creator: Unknown

The New Houses of Parliament - Bas-reliefs in the Prince's Chamber - the Death of Sir Philip Sidney at Zutphen, 1857. One of a...series of historic tableaux which enrich the walls of this elegant apartment...This is the well-known touching incident of the gallant and accomplished Sir Philip Sidney refusing a cup of cold water, which had been brought to quench his thirst, in favour of one of his poor wounded soldiers, whom he declared required it more than himself. This noble act is well told in this bas-relief. The wounded General is seated at the foot of a tree, supported by a halberdier; two are bearing the body of the wounded man whose case had called forth the generous act of commiseration from the noble-minded Sidney'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
