AUGUSTUS SAINT-GAUDENS. General William Tecumseh Sherman

General William Tecumseh Sherman. Artist: Augustus Saint-Gaudens (American, Dublin 1848-1907 Cornish, New Hampshire). Dimensions: 31 1/4 x 21 1/2 x 12 1/2 in., 104lb. (79.4 x 54.6 x 31.8 cm). Date: 1888, cast 1910.
According to Saint-Gaudens, this bust of Civil War hero 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 monument.
