Rosalie Olin Warner--at age eleven months

Olin Levi Warner, born Suffield, CT 1844-died New York City 1896 · 1888

Olin Warner modeled this bust of his eleven-month-old daughter Rosalie in May 1888, while he was waiting for the bronze and granite work of a fountain commission to be finished. It was his first portrait of a child and the acclaim he received for it led to commissions for other children’s portraits.
