Elizabet Ney was a portrait sculptor who established her reputation in Texas during the latter part of the 19th century. She was born in Westphalia, Germany (Franzisca Bernadina Wilhelmina Elisabeth Ney) in 1833, and lived there until, at the age of eighteen, she went to Munich to study sculpture.
In 1852, after deciding on a career as a sculptor, Elisabet gained admittance to the Royal Bavarian Academy, Munich, having first taken private lessons with the painter Johann Baptiste Berdelle (showing 500 of 4328 characters). |
