This marble bust, created in 1871 by American sculptor Hiram Powers, is a portrait of Mr. Potter Palmer, a prominent Chicago businessman and philanthropist. The work, notable for its realistic details, was likely commissioned to celebrate Palmer's success and influence in the city. It is a fine example of the neoclassical style, evident in the idealized features and the draped drapery. The bust is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
