Merlin's dream was a private commission. It is based on the Arthurian legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It shows the magician Merlin's dream of the appearance of the Holy Grail to the Knights of the Round Table. All the knights looked away except Sir Galahad who was pure enough of hear to gaze at the vision directly. The sword in the stone that Arthur removed to gain his crown, is depicted at the base of the sculpture.
This work is now mounted on a large stone in the garden of the client.
