Who is Elizabeth Ney? This question
might be asked many people in Eastern
art centers who would not know her per-
sonality or the character of her work.

from the fact that she is acknowledged

i'm a quaint little house in Austin, Tex,

twenty-five years She was born in
Westphalia. the beautiful country for
the sovereignty Of which Jerome Bona
parte bartered the heart and hand Of
lovely Mistress Betsy Patterson, of Bal
timore, at the command Of his imperial
brother. Her father was the favorite
nephew of Napoleons gallant warrior,
Marshal Ney. Her mother was d musi-
clan and Polish exile
From her earliest youth she desired to
study sculpture, but her family opposed
it on account of her sex, and it was only
after great difficulty that she was fin
ally allowed 10 study in Munich. Here
the quality OF her work soon attracted
the attention of Rauch. who obtained
permission for her 20 study with him in
the government buildings. She worked
with him until he died. and through him
came into the notice of Emperor VIII
liam, who gave her the commission TO
model the now famous head of Bismarck,
selecting her over all European sculptors
of either sex. Eventually the foremost
men of Germany were attracted to her
studio, and Won HUMBOLDT, Won Leibig.
Jacob Grimm, SchopeHhaueT, Joachim
