General William Tecumseh Sherman 1888 - 1910

This bronze bust of General William Tecumseh Sherman, sculpted by Augustus Saint-Gaudens between 1888 and 1910, is a powerful and realistic portrayal of the Union Army general. Saint-Gaudens was known for his ability to capture the likeness of his subjects, and Sherman's determined gaze and strong features are rendered with great detail. This bust is a fine example of the American realism style, with its focus on capturing the physical characteristics of the subject. The work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
