Richard Morris Hunt 1891

This 1891 plaster relief, titled "Richard Morris Hunt," is a portrait of the famed American architect, created by Karl Theodore Bitter. The piece is a circular bas-relief, with Hunt's profile carved in detail. Surrounding the portrait is a decorative frame with the inscription "Richard Morris Hunt" and "A.D. 1891." This work, now at The Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies Bitter's skill in portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subject in three dimensions.
