An impressive oeuvre that included grand public monuments and smaller portrait busts and reliefs established Saint-Gaudens as one of America's leading sculptors. The sitter, Edwin W. Stoughton (1818-1882), a prominent lawyer and jurist, is also the subject of the portrait bust displayed in this gallery. He was appointed American ambassador to Russia in 1877, and was one of Saint-Gaudens's patrons.
