EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a remarkable marble sculpture of William Wilson Corcoran, created by the talented artist John Quincy Adams Ward in 1882-83. This artwork stands at an impressive height of 73.7 centimeters and showcases Corcoran's stern yet dignified presence. William Wilson Corcoran was not just an ordinary man; he was an American banker, philanthropist, and avid art collector who played a significant role in establishing the renowned Corcoran Gallery of Art. The sculpture beautifully portrays his strong character with a frown on his face and a well-groomed mustache that adds to his distinguished appearance. Ward skillfully modeled this piece in 1882 before carving it into its final form in 1883. Today, this exquisite work is part of the prestigious Corcoran Collection housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , USA.
