Item Detais Plaster Sculpture of a Young Goat by Katharine Lane Weems. Signed by the artist and retaining its original, artist painted surface to simulate bronze patina. Realistically portrayed goat reminiscent of many of Katharine Lane Weems' animal sculptures. Provenance: originally Manchester-by-the-Sea Family of Note Weems was born Katharine Ward Lane on February 22, 1899,[1] in Boston, the only child of Gardiner Martin and Emma Louise (Gildersleeve) Lane, and received an elite education typical for wealthy women of her class. Her father was president of the Board of Trustees of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,[2] and her grandfather was classicist Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve. She was named after her aunt, Katharine Ward Lane (d. 1893), who was a watercolorist. She studied art at the Boston Museum School under Charles Grafly and George Demetrios, and also at the summer studios of Anna Hyatt Huntington.[3][4] Like many woman artists of the period, Weems often faced hostility because of her gender. However, she received support from two prominent female artists of the time: Huntington and Brenda Putnam, both of whom were working in New York.[3] In 1926 she won two medals: a Bronze Medal at the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial Exposition, and the George D. Widener Memorial Gold Medal from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In 1960 she received an award for sculpture from the National Academy of Design[5] and at the 1961 sculpture exhibition of the National Arts Club.[6] She created the dolphins outside the New England Aquarium (Dolphins of the Sea, 1977), and the Lotta Fountain at the Boston Esplanade Plaza. She served as a member of the Massachusetts Arts Commission 1941-1947, and was elected to the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors in 1925 and to the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1952. Several of her sculptures are held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Boston Athenaeum among others. Her papers are archived at Harvard University.

De La Fontaine, the writer, is represented in an ample cloak, sitting in contemplation on a gnarled tree on which a vine with grapes is climbing. On his knee is the manuscript of the fable of the fox and the grapes, while at his feet a fox is seated on his hat with its paw on a leather-bound volume, looking up at him Reference: The ‘Grands Hommes de France’, considered one of the great artistic undertakings of Louis XVI’s reign, were first commissioned in 1776 as a series of monumental statues of the great warriors, writers, politicians, philosophers and ecclesiastics to be created by the most prominent sculptors of the Académie Royale. Following this achievement, the comte d’ Angiviller, director of the King’s buildings, proposed to Antoine Régnier, director of the Sèvres factory, that Sèvres execute in biscuit porcelain reductions of these same statues and arranged for the sculptors of the original statues to make the smaller terra cotta models from which the moulds for the biscuit figures would be made. The creation of ‘La Série des Grands Hommes’ at Sèvres extended from 1783 to 1787, during which time twenty-three models were produced. Example: Collection of Le Louvres, Jean de la Fontaine, After Pierre Julien, modeled by Manufacture de Sevres, 1784. (0A 11220, Salle 620, Aile Sully, Niveau 1).
