Mildred Howells 1897 Augustus Saint-Gaudens American 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 Mildred Howells. Augustus Saint-Gaudens (American, Dublin 1848–1907 Cornish, New Hampshire). American. 1897. silvered bronze
