Not only artists, but the world in gen.
eral is interested in a new form of like
ness taking which bids fair to rival the
present craze for miniatures. Miss Bessie
Potter, a young American sculptor, in fol-
lowing her talents has hit upon an origi-
nal means of portraiture, and has all al
once found herself famous. Taking her
inspiration from the Tanagra figures Ghe
tiny Greek statuettes discovered by arch
biologists and supposed to be faithful
likenesses of the old Creeks she has
adopted the idea of modelling modern men
and women in miniature. Her figures are
from twelve to fourteen inches in hight,
wonderfully life-like and graceful, and her
force lies in implying largeness in minia-
ture. Occasionally she gives a faint touch
of color 70 the clay or deepens a shadow.
and since being in Florence her work IS
now put in marble, in which the little
figures show to great advantage. People
who could not think of having a life-sized
bust of themselves find an advantage in
these statuettes, and Miss Potters studio
is flocked with women of fashion. The
artist does not insist on classic drapery,
but reproduces the pretty women just as
they come, la fashionable modern garD.
Her American girls are as typical as Glib
sons and one Of her best pieces of work,
The Girl of the PERIOD" is a westerner
like herself.
