William Lloyd Garrison
|
Garrison posed for this portrait a year or so before his
death. One of several plaster and marble versions derived
from the sittings, it remained in the Garrison family
until its presentation to the National Portrait Gallery.
The bust’s maker, Anne Whitney, wrote poetry and taught
school until she took up sculpture at age thirty-four.
Her most important work was a statue of the revolutionary
patriot Samuel Adams. |
