- Luce Center Label
- 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.
- Luce Object Quote
- “Mr. Olin Warner has amused himself, during the intervals of more important work upon the fountain he has designed for Portland, Oregon, in modeling the head of an infant, in clay . . . He has never done anything more successful, there is a serious charm about this work which makes it akin to the cherubs of Della Robbia and Verocchio.” The Studio, August 1888
