EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense focus and dedication of Russian-born Austrian sculptor Teresa Feoderovna Ries as she brings to life a bust of the renowned American author, Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens). Dating back to circa 1898, this image offers a rare glimpse into the artistic process of the late Victorian era. Teresa, also known as Feodorowna or Feodorova, is seen seated in her studio, her hands deftly shaping the clay that forms the base of Twain's future bust. The intricacies of her craft are evident in her posture and expression, as she meticulously sculpts each detail with unwavering concentration. Born in Russia in 1874, Teresa Feoderovna Ries was a prolific artist, known for her sculptures and paintings. She spent much of her career in Vienna, Austria, where she gained recognition for her exceptional talent. Mark Twain, a celebrated American author, was a popular figure in European literary circles during this time, and Teresa's decision to create a bust of him speaks to the global reach and influence of his work. The photograph's composition is striking, with Teresa positioned in the center, her subject, Mark Twain, absent but present through the clay beneath her hands. The image invites viewers to ponder the creative process, the connection between artist and muse, and the power of art to transcend borders and bring people together.
