Bronze Portrait of Angela Lawrence by Joseph Lindon Smith From the Original

This portrait of an Italian portrait of Angela Lawrence was exhibited recently in the Fogg Museum among many other fine portraits in the exhibition called 'The Art of Portraiture.' The Italian portrait is one of the most striking in the exhibition. It is a work of Joseph Lindon Smith, having been executed by him in 1912.

Portraiture was an art cultivated with particular care by the Italians of the Renaissance, who were not painters, but sculptors, and who were attentive to the likeness of the person represented. The Italians were not content with the mere likeness of the person, but sought to catch his eyes, yet the artist who shaped this portrait has caught the very personality of the subject."
