John Quincy Adams Ward's 1901 bronze sculpture, *Henry B. Hyde*, is a realistic portrayal of the prominent businessman and philanthropist. The sculpture, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, depicts Hyde standing confidently in a formal suit and overcoat. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of Hyde's clothing and facial features. This bronze work exemplifies the realistic style prevalent in American sculpture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on capturing the likeness and character of the subject.
