HENRY KIRKE BUSH-BROWN. St. Nicholas' Club Memorial: Washington Irving

St. Nicholas' Club Memorial: Washington Irving. Artist: Henry Kirke Bush-Brown (American, Ogdensburg, New York 1857-1935 Washington, DC). Dimensions: Diam. 7 in. (17.8 cm). Date: 1907.
Bush-Brown attained recognition as a sculptor of public monuments, yet his facility with small-scale sculpture is evident in this medallion featuring a bust-length portrait of American writer and humorist Washington Irving (1783-1859). Irving's tousled hair and downward fixed gaze suggest that the author of "Rip van Winkle" is deep in thought. 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.
