Likely inspired by her evenly proportioned, classical features, the artist portrayed her variously as Ceres, Minerva, and Athena. In 1888 Rodin modeled her portrait in wax; this later bronze cast captures her dignified beauty. Her hair is pulled back, emphasizing her broad jaw, strong nose, and full lips. She appears aloof yet feeling, simple yet intelligent: a woman of depth and character. Rodin often expressed his preference for frank portraiture: "Even the most insignificant head is the dwelling-place of life . and so offers inexhaustible matter for the

King George II ca. 1760 Vauxhall This large-scale portrait bust depicting George II (1683-1760), king of Britain, is one of nineteen examples known,1 and these busts are commonly regarded as among the most ambitious porcelain sculpture attempted in eighteenth-century England. Remarkably, however, very little is known about the busts, including where and when they were made, the source of the model for the portrait, and for whom they might have been produced.2 The group has been the subject of considerable scholarly debate for many decades, and as is often pointed out, the busts have been attributed to almost every soft-paste porcelain factory operating in England in the mid-eighteenth century.3 The complete absence of comparable porcelain busts of this scale from any English factory makes an attribution particularly challenging. A persuasive approximate dating of the bust might provide a key to further understanding the history of the model, but on this point there is no unanimit

Georges Louis DuVernoy (1777-1855), French naturalist 1835 Pierre Jean David d'Angers French Pierre-Jean David dAngers was the most prolific and one of the most important French sculptors of the first half of the nineteenth century. Throughout his almost fifty-year career (1819-1856) David remained true to his conviction that sculptural monuments dedicated to the achievements of great men and women most permanently and vividly express the greatness of a people. He continuously sought commissions for monuments portraying historical and contemporary figures whom he admired in order to commit their contributions to posterity. His most famous public commission, the figurative pediment of the Pantheon in Paris (1830-1837), which commemorates great men and was dedicated by a grateful nation, exemplifies these life-long principles. David dAngers extended his definition of public monuments to include portrait medallions. In the 1820s he dedicated himself to a personal campaign of creating co

Bust of Minerva. Artist: Elena Pistrucci (British, 1822-1886). Culture: probably Italian, Rome. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 2 1/4 × 1 5/8 in. (5.7 × 4.1 cm). Date: ca. 1870-80.Benedetto Pistrucci's daughters lived in Rome after his death, and it was probably there that Elena carved this cameo, basing it directly on her father's wax-on-slate model (Museo di Roma), which he had patterned (including the ram's head on the helmet) after an ancient statue, the Giustiniani Minerva (Vatican Museums). Elena made the goddess's features abstractly rigid, yet the white stratum, which contrasts agreeably with the deep green ground, evokes the essence of marble.

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 Manhattans Central Park. While this version of the head differs from the one he ultimately used for the monumental figure, it shares that figures dual symbolism, emphasized by the Greek words inscribed on the base: NIKE-EIPHNH (Victory-Peace)..

William Maxwell Evarts. Artist: Augustus Saint-Gaudens (American, Dublin 1848-1907 Cornish, New Hampshire). Dimensions: 22 7/8 x 12 3/4 x 9 1/4 in. (58.1 x 32.4 x 23.5 cm). Date: 1872-73; carved 1874.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 had been convened to review sanctions against the British for aiding the Confederate cause during the Civil War.
