In 1835 Irving helped establish the Saint Nicholas Society, an organization founded to preserve and celebrate the history and customs of New York. It commissioned this commemorative portrait from Bush-Brown. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

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 sitters 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 Rensselaers high-minded aesthetic ideals. The bronze is encased in a carved oak frame designed by Stanford White; the floral medallions on the frame cleverly echo those at the bottom of the relief..

Cameo with the Head of a Satyr late 18th or early 19th century probably Italian The tradition of representing satyrs on intaglios and cameos is an ancient one, stretching back at least as far as sixth-century Greece. This cameo, with its forced perspective and strong, unidealized image, belongs to a rather late stage in the evolution of the representation of the sylvan deity. It was probably made in Italy, the chief center of cameo production in the late eighteenth and nineteenth century, as it is today.Clare Vincent, The Jack and Belle Linsky Collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1984, p. 189, no. 108.
