Wyatt Eaton 1883, cast 1897-98 Olin Levi Warner American Born in Phillipsburg, Quebec, Wyatt Eaton (1849-1896) trained at the National Academy of Design in New York and later with Jean-Léon Gérôme at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Eaton completed figure studies and portraits influenced by the naturalism of the French Barbizon style. Warner and Eaton were both early members of the progressive Society of American Artists and developed a close friendship. At the time this medallion was modeled, they both had studios in the Benedick Building in New Yorks Washington Square. It is not known whether this medallion was commissioned, or, more likely, was a token of friendship from sculptor to painter.. Wyatt Eaton.

Funerary relief. Dimensions: 20 7/8 x 18 x 7 3/8 in. (53 x 45.7 x 18.7 cm). Date: ca. 200-273.This relief is a type of funerary monument characteristic of the prosperous caravan city of Palmyra during the first three centuries A.D. Reliefs with a representation of the deceased and a short identifying inscription were used to seal burial niches in elaborately decorated communal tombs; those with a half-length or bust format became prevalent sometime after A.D. 65. Shown here is the upper body of a bearded man in high relief who faces directly toward the viewer, dressed in a Greek cloak known as a himation, worn over a chiton, or tunic, and wrapped around the right arm like a sling. Carved in soft local limestone, the lower part of the bust has been worn away and the hands are no longer discernible, making it impossible to tell whether an attribute is held in the left hand. The background of the relief has been broken away, but was likely inscribed in Palmyrene Aramaic with the name an

A Young Man, c. 1700. Orazio Marinali (Italian, 1643-1720). Marble; overall: 26.5 x 20.6 x 5.1 cm (10 7/16 x 8 1/8 x 2 in.). During the late 1600s, Marinali produced several groups of profiles in low relief to decorate palaces in Venice. Traces of mortar appear on the back of this work, suggesting that it was once installed in masonry. Originally, the profiles would have been framed, probably with wood, and installed as part of a secular architectural decoration in a series, perhaps in a garden or on an entrance portal. These profile heads typically portrayed either virtuous male figures or anonymous studies of facial types. Starting in the Renaissance, many wealthy Italians built collections that combined antiquities with contemporary paintings and sculpture. Marinali's work played on this interest by juxtaposing a type of profile found on ancient and Renaissance coins and medals with a contemporary interest in physiognomy and the representation of affect and temperament.

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 Statess 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..
