2HJ4320 Homer Schiff Saint-Gaudens 1882; carved 1906–7 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Here, Saint-Gaudens depicted his seventeen-month-old son, Homer Schiff Saint-Gaudens (1880–1958), seated in a child’s chair, the folds of his garment escaping its confines and his pudgy left hand gripping its arm. As the inscription, rendered in the sculptor’s characteristic lettering style, attests, the original portrait in bronze was presented to Dr. Henry Shiff, Saint-Gaudens’s Paris confidant and Homer’s namesake (with a slight variation in spelling). The sculptor kept another bronze on a wall of his Thirty-Sixt

2HJ3RMR Rodman de Kay Gilder 1879, cast probably 1880 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American In one of Saint-Gaudens’s earliest representations of childhood’s innocence, the cherubic head of Rodman de Kay Gilder (1877-1953) floats on a field of bronze. Saint-Gaudens excerpted this head study of the toddler from portrait of Richard Watson Gilder’s family completed several months earlier (2002.445). Saint-Gaudens’s love of technical experimentation in his sculpture is evident in the scumbled treatment of hair and clothing resembling thickly-applied painted pigment, the wispy horizontal striations of the backgr

2HJ3NE7 The Puritan 1883–86, cast 1899 or after Augustus Saint-Gaudens American In 1881 Saint-Gaudens was commissioned by Chester W. Chapin, a railroad tycoon and congressman, to sculpt a large-scale bronze likeness of an ancestor, Deacon Samuel Chapin (1595–1675), a prominent early settler of Springfield, Massachusetts. The sculptor wrote in his 'Reminiscences' that: 'The statue.. was to represent Deacon Samuel Chapin, but I developed it into an embodiment.. of the 'Puritan.'' On Thanksgiving Day 1887, 'The Puritan' was unveiled on Stearns Square in Springfield, at one end of a site designed by Stanf

2HJ2H2R Mrs. Stanford White (Bessie Springs Smith) 1884, carved by 1888 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens completed this portrait of Bessie Smith White (1862-1950) on the occasion of her marriage to the architect Stanford White in 1884. Modeling the portrait was the sculptor’s gift to the couple, and he then funded its translation to marble to settle a debt with White. Bessie White is depicted in her bridal ensemble, brushing aside the flowing veil and holding rose blooms symbolizing love and beauty. By the mid-1880s, Saint-Gaudens’s style of relief sculpture was more technically ambitious

2HJ220E Samuel Gray Ward 1881, cast 1908 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Although the circumstances leading to Saint-Gaudens' modeling of Samuel Gray Ward's likeness are not known, this bas-relief was one of the sculptor's earliest portrait commissions. Ward (1817–1907) was a founder of the Metropolitan Museum and its first treasurer. Over his long lifetime, he cultivated myriad artistic and literary interests while working as a financier. He was an intimate of Ralph Waldo Emerson and his circle, and an enthusiastic patron of the arts, particularly prints. Of the more than eighty reliefs Saint-Gaudens

2HJ1R84 Vanderbilt Mantelpiece ca. 1881–83 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American This mantelpiece originally dominated the entrance hall of the residence of Cornelius Vanderbilt II on Fifth Avenue at 57th Street (demolished 1925-27). Working for the architect George B. Post, the artist John La Farge (1835-1910) created a lavish decorative program, to which Saint-Gaudens contributed many of the sculptural elements. Two classical caryatids, Amor (Love) and Pax (Peace), support the expansive entablature with bowed heads and upraised arms. The overmantel mosaic depicts a classically dressed woman holding a garl

2HJ16YT Mildred Howells 1897 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American This medal of poet and artist Mildred Howells (1873-1966) was excerpted from Saint-Gaudens’s rectangular low-relief portrait of the sitter posed alongside her father, writer William Dean Howells. The reduced circular shape illustrates Saint-Gaudens’s mastery of compositional design, as the simple lines of Howells’s right-facing profile are enlivened by the bold twists and delicate wisps of her low-swept bun..

2HHEG23 Richard Watson Gilder, Helena de Kay Gilder, and Rodman de Kay Gilder modeled 1879, cast ca. 1883–84 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Among Saint-Gaudens's most technically innovative sculptures is a charming series of low-relief portraits of artists and friends completed during the late 1870s in Paris. This example, a compact rectangular portrait of the Gilder family, was the sculptor's most ambitious to date. It depicts the sitters in shoulder-length profile with Richard Gilder facing his wife Helena and two-year-old son Rodman. In 1879, the Gilders took an extended trip to Europe. In May, th

2HHC6XH Hiawatha 1871–72, carved 1874 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens’s three years of study in Paris came to an abrupt end with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. He left for Rome in late 1870 and soon began Hiawatha, his first full-length statue, inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic poem 'The Song of Hiawatha' (1855). Seated on a rock in a contemplative pose, with his quiver of arrows and bow nearby, the fictional Ojibwe chief is 'pondering, musing in the forest /On the welfare of his people,' as an excerpt from Longfellow’s poem inscribed on the base declares. Saint-Gau

2HHBRDP Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer (Mariana Griswold) 1888, cast 1890 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Mariana Griswold Van Rensselaer (1851–1934), an influential author, critic, and reformer, championed Saint-Gaudens in articles on his public monuments and relief sculptures. In this elongated portrait, the sculptor made full use of the textural possibilities of his medium by modeling the sitter’s dress and collar with lively surfaces that contrast with her smooth skin. The inscription animvs non opvs ('the spirit, not the work') refers to Van Rensselaer’s high-minded aesthetic ideals. The bronze is

2HHBGRN Davida Johnson Clark 1886 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American This graceful underlifesize portrait of Davida Johnson Clark (1861–1910) was a gift from Saint-Gaudens to his longtime model and lover and the mother of his second son, Louis (b. 1889). The private token of affection also served as an early study for the head of Diana for the tower of Madison Square Garden, the most public of Saint-Gaudens’s outdoor sculptures. An over-lifesize cast of Diana is on view in the Charles Engelhard Court of the American Wing (acc. no. 28.101).. Davida Johnson Clark 17571

2HHBGMA The Children of Jacob H. Schiff 1884–85, carved 1906–7 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens excelled at the art of relief sculpture—modeled forms raised in varying degrees from a two-dimensional background. In this ambitious double portrait of Mortimer Leo (1877–1931) and Frieda Fanny (1876–1958) Schiff, the artist’s technical command is evident, from the delicate, sketchy treatment of the Scottish deerhound’s wiry fur to Mortimer’s fully rounded foot extending over the edge of the plinth into the viewer’s space. The three-dimensional illusion is further enhanced by the architectural

2HHAWRH Victory 1892–1903; this cast, 1914 or after (by 1916) Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Adapted from the full-size figure of Victory on Saint-Gaudens’s equestrian monument to the Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman (1892–1903; Grand Army Plaza, Manhattan), this winged allegorical figure is depicted as a triumphant guiding force. Her classicizing gown is emblazoned with an eagle, and she wears a crown of laurel and holds a palm frond—both traditional emblems of victory. The windblown pose recalls that of the Hellenistic marble 'Nike of Samothrace' (Musée du Louvre, Paris). The principal mo

2HHAWCN Anna Watson Stuart ca. 1862 Daniel Huntington American Huntington was the preferred portraitist of respectable New York society during the 1860s. Here Mrs. Joseph L. (Anna Watson) Stuart (1817-1881), wife of an Irish-born dry goods merchant turned banker, is seated in a lush landscape. She is dressed in fashionable ermine and laces, and on her right wrist she wears a cameo bracelet, created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This family heirloom, now in a private collection, is Saint-Gaudens’s most ambitious extant cameo project, featuring six portraits— Mr. (1803-1874) and Mrs. Stuart and their four

2HHA0F7 The Children of Prescott Hall Butler 1880–81; carved 1906–7 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens modeled this portrait of Charles Stewart Butler (1876–1954) and Lawrence Smith Butler (1875–1954) as a surprise gift from the architect Stanford White to the boys’ father, Prescott Hall Butler, a New York lawyer. The brothers are dressed in Scottish Highland attire: jackets and pleated kilts, with sporrans hanging from their waists. The endless ribbon at the upper left is inscribed twice with a line from the first book of Virgil’s Aeneid: 'DABIT DEVS HIS QVOQVE FINEM' (The god will bring a

2HH955A Diana 1892–93, cast 1928 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Aware of Saint-Gaudens’s desire to model a female nude, the architect Stanford White (1853–1906) gave him the commission for a weathervane for the tower of Madison Square Garden (demolished 1925). The first, eighteen-foot-tall sculpture proved too large and was replaced in 1894 by a streamlined version, five feet shorter. It became one of New York’s most popular landmarks, and the sculptor capitalized on its success by issuing numerous reductions. This cast is a half-size model of the second version, produced from a cement cast once owne

2HH89ND United States Ten-dollar Gold Piece 1906–7, gold coin 1910 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Having proclaimed the coinage produced by the United States Mint uninspired and commonplace, President Theodore Roosevelt invited Saint-Gaudens to redesign the ten- and twenty-dollar gold coins and the one-cent piece. Some ten months later, in November 1905, Saint-Gaudens submitted his preliminary sketches, becoming the first artist unaffiliated with the Mint to design a regular coinage issue. Roosevelt later declared the resulting coins (his 'pet crime') were more beautiful than any since the days of th

2HH88N2 Robert Louis Stevenson 1887–88; cast 1910 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Impressed by Robert Louis Stevenson’s collection of stories 'New Arabian Nights' (1882), Saint-Gaudens told their mutual friend, Will Low, that he would be honored to model a portrait if the writer were ever to come to the United States. The opportunity presented itself in 1887–88, when Stevenson (1850–1894) sat for the sculptor in New York and later in Manasquan, New Jersey. Stevenson, suffering from tuberculosis, is shown writing in bed, as was his custom. The lengthy inscription is a poem by Stevenson dedicated to Low

2HH7N91 Charles F. McKim 1878 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American McKim (1847-1909) sat for his portrait in Paris in 1878, a year before the formation of McKim, Mead & White, which became the most influential architectural firm of America’s Gilded Age. McKim and Saint-Gaudens met in 1875, brought together by 'a devouring love for ice cream,' and remained close professional colleagues for three decades. Here McKim’s features are truthfully rendered in profile, with a receding hairline, prominent jaw, and serious mien. The foliate scroll at the top and the group of acanthus leaves at the lower right refer t

2HH73X1 Robert Louis Stevenson 1887–88, cast 1898 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens met noted author Robert Louis Stevenson after reading his 'New Arabian Nights,' published in 1882. The sculptor recalled in his 'Reminiscences': 'My introduction to these stories set me aflame as few things in literature. So when I subsequently found that my friend, Mr. [Will Hicok] Low knew Stevenson quite well, I told him that, if Stevenson ever crossed to this side of the water, I should consider it an honor if he would allow me to make his portrait.' After arriving in America, Stevenson agreed to sit fo

2HH72G8 Head of Victory 1897–1903; cast 1907 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Head of Victory derives from one of several studies Saint-Gaudens made for the striding, windblown allegorical figure on his monument (1892–1903) to the Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman at the southeast corner of Manhattan’s Central Park. While this version of the head differs from the one he ultimately used for the monumental figure, it shares that figure’s dual symbolism, emphasized by the Greek words inscribed on the base: NIKE–EIPHNH (Victory–Peace).. Head of Victory 12003

2HH4AD8 Amor Caritas 1880–98, cast 1918 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American “Amor Caritas” represents the perfection of Saint-Gaudens’s vision of the ethereal female, a subject that he modeled repeatedly, beginning in 1880. The elegant figure in a frontal pose with free-flowing draperies and downcast eyes also appears in the caryatids for the Vanderbilt mantelpiece (25.234) and in several funerary works. Here, Saint-Gaudens made subtle changes in the drapery and added upward-curving wings, a tablet, and a belt and crown of passionflowers. He considered several titles with universal themes, including To Kn

2HH0K3B World’s Columbian Exposition Commemorative Presentation Medal 1892-94; cast by 1896 Augustus Saint-Gaudens Saint-Gaudens, who served as an advisor for the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition sculptural program, accepted the commission for the official award medal. He had completed his design for the medal by the time of the fair’s closing in November 1893. His design for the obverse met ready acceptance. It shows Columbus making landfall in the Americas. At the lower right are three male figures, one bearing an unfurling banner, and above them are the symbolic Pillars of Hercules with the thr

2HGY68R Cornish Celebration Presentation Plaque 1905–6; cast ca. 1913 Augustus Saint-Gaudens In commemoration of Saint-Gaudens’s twenty years in Cornish, New Hampshire, residents wrote, organized, and acted in the allegorical play 'A Masque of ‘Ours,' the Gods and the Golden Bowl.' It was performed on June 22, 1905, on the grounds of the sculptor’s house, Aspet, with the participants dressed as ancient mythological figures. Soon thereafter, Saint-Gaudens modeled a plaque to express his gratitude to the players and musicians. The text painstakingly records their names, while a classical temple framed b

2HGRH03 Cornelius Vanderbilt I 1882 Augustus Saint-Gaudens Saint-Gaudens’s work for Cornelius Vanderbilt II’s grand residence on Fifth Avenue at Fifty-Seventh Street included three low-relief portraits of family members. The posthumous likeness of patriarch Cornelius Vanderbilt I, a steamship and railroad entrepreneur, presents the Commodore, as he was known, posed in profile against a dense background of oak leaves and acorns. This motif, symbolizing strength and regeneration, was adapted from the family coat of arms, visible at the lower right. Saint-Gaudens’s bas-relief style underwent a noticeable

2HGP89X Roger Fry 1911 Edith Woodman Burroughs American Fry (1866-1934) was an influential English art historian and critic, who in 1906 became the Metropolitan Museum’s curator of European paintings. Fry’s curatorial assistant was Bryson Burroughs, whose wife Edith executed this medallion of Fry as a gesture of friendship. After studying with Kenyon Cox and Augustus Saint-Gaudens at New York’s Art Students League, and then training in Paris in the early 1890s, Edith Burroughs earned professional recognition for her figures, portrait busts, and medallions. “Roger Fry” showcases Burroughs’s expressive

2HHW8TA Abraham Lincoln: The Man (Standing Lincoln) 1884–87; reduced 1910; cast 1911 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American This statuette is a reduction after Saint-Gaudens’s monument to Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), which was dedicated in Chicago’s Lincoln Park in 1887. The sculptor based the portrait on Leonard Wells Volk’s life mask of Lincoln (2007.185.2) and on photographs taken during his presidency. Saint-Gaudens’s vision of the sixteenth President was further informed by his subject’s speeches and writings and by his own youthful remembrances of Lincoln’s visits to New York. Here, a pensive Lincoln s

2HHTB8E Louise Adele Gould 1904 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American In his final of three portraits of Louise Adele Gould (1856-1883), Saint-Gaudens extended the sitter’s shoulders and terminated the bust with a horizontal line in the manner of quattrocento portraits by the likes of Francesco Laurana and Mino da Fiesole. The bust is mounted on a variegated yellow marble base of Italian origin. Gould believed this likeness of his late wife was 'the most beautiful of the three designs,' and lent it to the Saint-Gaudens memorial exhibition held at the Metropolitan in 1908 (he served on the exhibition organiz

2HHTB7N Eva Rohr 1872 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American The American singer Eva Rohr was studying opera in Rome when Saint-Gaudens depicted her playing the part of Marguerite in Charles Gounod’s opera Faust. The character was associated with innocence and purity – themes reinforced by her demure downward gaze and the crucifix around her neck. The inscription on the Gothic-style pedestal is an English translation of Marguerite’s first words to Faust, in which she chastely rebukes her impassioned suitor’s offer to accompany her home..

2HHTB3M Mrs. Stanford White (Bessie Springs Smith) 1884, cast 1893 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens frequently experimented with the size, format, and medium of his works, often driven to further refine completed compositions. The sculptor revised the original marble rectangular portrait of Bessie Springs Smith White (1862-1950) (1976.388) to a bust-length tondo format, relocating the inscription and adding an ivy-vine border alluding to affection and friendship. This bronze cast was in fact a gift of friendship to Mary Lawrence Tonetti, who was one of Saint-Gaudens’s studio assistants du

Some ten months later, in November 1905, Saint-Gaudens submitted his preliminary sketches, becoming the first artist unaffiliated with the Mint to design a regular coinage issue.

2HHTAHN Francis Davis Millet 1879 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens and Francis Davis Millet (1846-1912) traveled in the same artistic circles, first meeting in Rome in 1873-74, and then painting murals for Henry Hobson Richardson’s Trinity Church in Boston in 1876-77. Sculptor and painter/writer further solidified their bonds of friendship in Paris, and in March 1879 Saint-Gaudens, along with Samuel Clemens, stood in as witnesses at Millet’s wedding at Montmartre. This portrait of the groom, with a painter’s attributes of pallet and brushes, was likely a gift to the newlyweds. Here Saint-

2HHT9BN Louise Adele Gould 1893, carved 1894 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American In 1893 the New York lawyer Charles W. Gould commissioned Saint-Gaudens to complete a portrait of his late wife, Louise Adele Dickerson Gould (b. 1856), who died in 1883 at age twenty-six, after less than three years of marriage. Using photographs for reference, the sculptor modeled the demure Louise Gould as she appeared in fashionable bridal finery on her wedding day, St. Agnes Eve, January 20, 1881. The reference to St. Agnes, who is associated with purity and martyrdom, accentuates the melancholy of the sculpture. So too

2HHT6T4 Jules Bastien-Lepage 1880, cast 1910 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens first met the artist Jules Bastien-Lepage (1848–1884) in 1868 while studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He renewed his acquaintance with the French painter upon his return to Paris in 1877, and, as Saint-Gaudens later recalled, Bastien-Lepage 'asked if I would make a medallion of him in exchange for a portrait of myself. Of course I agreed to the proposal.' The last and most ambitious of the medallions depicting artist-friends completed during the sculptor's French tenure (1877–80), this portrait anno

2HHT5TM Cornish Celebration Presentation Plaquette 1905–6 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American On the evening of June 22, 1905, Saint-Gaudens’s twenty years in Cornish, New Hampshire, were marked by a celebratory tribute in the form of an elaborately planned open-air play titled 'A Masque of ‘Ours’: The Gods and the Golden Bowl.' The pageant was written by Louis Shipman; the music was composed by Arthur Whiting and performed by members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Among the many Cornish Colony residents, young and old, who assumed the roles of mythical gods and goddesses were painter Maxfield Parrish,

2HHT5N8 Frances Folsom Cleveland 1887–92, cast 1902 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens began modelling a low-relief portrait of Frances Folsom Cleveland (1864-1947), wife of President Grover Cleveland, while both were guests at the summer home of Helena and Richard Gilder in Marion, Massachusetts, in August 1887, completing the seventeen-inch medallion in 1892. It depicts Frances Cleveland one year after her marriage to the President, at age twenty-three, wearing an upswept hairstyle and a fashionable, high-collared dress. In late 1901, Saint-Gaudens reduced the scale of the plaster medalli

2HHT5MY World's Columbian Exposition Commemorative Presentation Medal 1892–94, cast by 1896 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens, who served as an advisor for the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition sculptural program, accepted the commission for the official award medal. He had completed his design for the medal by the time of the fair’s closing in November 1893. His design for the obverse met ready acceptance. It shows Columbus making landfall in the Americas. At the lower right are three male figures, one bearing an unfurling banner, and above them are the symbolic Pillars of Hercules wit

2HHT5GP Benjamin Franklin Commemorative Medal 1906 Louis St. Gaudens From the early 1870s onward Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s younger brother Louis, who preferred to spell his last name 'St. Gaudens,' was a frequent contributor to the Saint-Gaudens studio enterprise. From time to time Augustus passed along to Louis commissions including this medal to commemorate the bicentennial of Benjamin Franklin’s birth. The commission, brought about by an Act of Congress of April 27, 1904, was originally awarded to Augustus, but he insisted Louis sign the work as his own. In 1905, through the auspices of Metropolitan

2HHT5E1 John Singer Sargent 1880 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Saint-Gaudens’s and Sargent’s remarkable careers developed along parallel tracks. Both prodigiously gifted, they met in Paris in 1877 or 1878 while Saint-Gaudens was at work on his Farragut Monument and Sargent (1856-1925) was studying in the independent atelier of Carolus-Duran and enjoying early success exhibiting his society portraits and genre scenes in the Paris Salons. Sculptor and painter traveled in the same international cosmopolitan circles, sharing not only friends but also patrons. Saint-Gaudens advised Sargent on sculptural

2HHT3H9 Louise Adele Gould 1894, carved 1895 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American After Saint-Gaudens completed the high-relief portrait of Louise Gould (1856-1883) (15.105.1), her widower Charles Gould asked the sculptor to adapt the portrait to three dimensions. In this smooth bust-length rendering with a socle base, she is chastely dressed in a classicizing drape with knots at the shoulders. Gould expressed his pleasure at Saint-Gaudens’s ability to capture his wife’s 'girlish simplicity and sweetness.' This and the other two portraits of Louise Gould (15.105.1; 32.62.1) were translated to marble by the

2HHT1TF General William Tecumseh Sherman 1888, cast 1910 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American According to Saint-Gaudens, this bust of General William Tecumseh Sherman (1830-1891) was modeled during eighteen visits, each lasting about two hours. The sculptor depicted Sherman exactly as he appeared during the sittings—with his deeply creased brow, stubbly beard, and unbuttoned collar. The success of this portrait left Saint-Gaudens well poised to win a commission in 1892 for an equestrian monument honoring Sherman. The sculptor used the plaster version of this bust as the basis for Sherman’s portrait on the

2HHRPH9 Charles F. McKim, Stanford White, and Augustus Saint-Gaudens 1878 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American In summer 1878 Saint-Gaudens and the architects Stanford White (1853-1906) and Charles McKim (1847-1909) departed from Paris for an eleven-day holiday to central and southern France. Soon thereafter Saint-Gaudens fashioned this sketchy, lighthearted medallion as a souvenir for the trio, replete with reminders of the trip. White’s leonine features appear at the top, with McKim’s balding compacted head at the right and Saint-Gaudens’s angular profile at the left. Around the rough edge are shorthand

2HHRMYH William Maxwell Evarts 1872–73; carved 1874 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American Early in his career, Saint-Gaudens secured several commissions for portrait busts of middle-aged male sitters, all of which he executed in the hybrid real-ideal style that was popular at the time. This portrait of the prominent attorney William Maxwell Evarts (1818–1901) is a vigorous, naturalistic bust terminating in a classicizing undraped chest and an ennobling herm. When he first met the sculptor in Rome, Evarts was based in Geneva, Switzerland, as the United States’s counsel at the Alabama claims tribunal, which h

2HHRKKJ Admiral David Glasgow Farragut 1879–80; cast 1910 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American This bust derives from a study Saint-Gaudens made for his first major commission, the Farragut Monument, unveiled in New York City’s Madison Square in 1881. The statue commemorated the Civil War’s most celebrated naval commander, Admiral David Glasgow Farragut (1801–1870), who earned glory for the 1862 capture of New Orleans and his victory at the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864. During that battle, he issued his famous command, “Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!” Here, Farragut’s furrowed brow, squinting eyes,

2HHRHT1 Claerchen 1893 Karl Theodore Bitter American, born Austria Bitter no doubt viewed this profile of Clare, his six-year-old niece, as a casual representation, as suggested by the sketchy, tactile handling of form. Striated tool marks add dynamism to Bitter’s characterization of his wide-eyed sitter. Once considered a means to a more polished end, the sketch aesthetic was popularized in the late-nineteenth century through low relief portraits by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and others. “Claerchen” is a diminutive form of the sitter’s name that recalls Bitter’s Austrian heritage.. Claerchen. Karl Theodo

2HHRENG Young Duck ca. 1914–16; cast 1918 Harry Dickinson Thrasher American A long-time assistant in the studio of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Thrasher was awarded in 1911 a prestigious three-year scholarship by the American Academy in Rome for study and travel. He probably completed this naturalistic representation of a duck after his return from Rome to the United States. Considered by his contemporaries a sculptor of great natural talent, Thrasher modeled both portraits and more imaginative ideal compositions. He was killed in France in 1918 while serving in the Camouflage Corps of Army Engineers; seve
