Mildred Howells, 1897, silvered bronze, Diameter: 2 7/8 in. (7.3 cm), Sculpture, Augustus Saint-Gaudens (American, Dublin 1848–1907 Cornish, New Hampshire), This medal of poet and artist Mildred Howells (1873-1966) was excerpted from Saint-Gaudens’s rectangular low-relief portrait of the sitter posed alongside her father, writer William Dean Howells. The reduced circular shape illustrates Saint-Gaudens’s mastery of compositional design, as the simple lines of Howells’s right-facing profile are enlivened by the bold twists and delicate wisps of her low-swept bun
