| Anne Whitney, born in 1821, was a sculptor of portraits in bronze and marble. She began as a teacher and a writer, publishing a book of her poems in 1859, before turning to sculpture in the late 1850s. In 1860, she enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, but realized her skills were too advanced for their program. As a woman in this time period it was difficult to obtain formal training in sculpture, so she planned to go abroad. Her plans were interrupted by the outbreak of the Ci (showing 500 of 1664 characters). |
