The Puritan after 1883

"The Puritan" is a bronze sculpture created by American artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens after 1883. The sculpture depicts a Puritan man in a long coat and hat, holding a book and a walking stick. It is a realistic and detailed work that captures the essence of Puritanism, a religious movement that emphasized simplicity and hard work. The work, which is now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, is a classic example of Saint-Gaudens's work.
