"Mother and Child" by Robert Ingersoll Aitken, Highly Important First Casting
About the Item
Lovely and charming, this diminutive bronze sculpture by Robert Ingersoll Aitken is of special importance, having been cast and mounted to honor John DeWitt Warner, an influential lawyer, congressman and supporter of the arts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The marble base features a bronze panel indicated that it was the "First Bronze Cast." Warner was a founder of the National Sculpture Society, the most important association of professional sculptors in America, and the oldest. Aitken was one of the deans of American sculpture in the early 20th century, sculpting the figure atop the Dewey monument in Union Square, San Francisco, the west pediment of the Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C., and the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City.
