Homer Schiff Saint-Gaudens 1882 - 1907

"Homer Schiff" (1882 - 1907) is a portrait relief by American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The artwork is a delicate white plaster sculpture of a young boy, Homer Schiff, the son of the sculptor's friend, in profile. The sculpture's three-dimensionality and realism bring a childlike charm to the portrait. The work is a testament to Saint-Gaudens's mastery of classical techniques. The relief is currently displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
