Peter Rouw II (17 April 1771– 9 December 1852[1]) was a London-based sculptor specialising in bas-reliefs in marble, often in the form of mural church monuments, and in wax miniature portraits, often of a pink hue on black glass. He designed medals, including one of William Wilberforce,[2] and also made a few marble busts. He exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts.[3] In 1807 Rouw was appointed modeller of cameos and gems to the Prince Regent.[4]
