Description
Bishop George Mueller, an early advocate for Ney’s work, commissioned Ney to create a statue of the fourth–century Christian martyr Saint Sebastian for the Episcopal Diocesan Museum of Münster. The sculpture was Ney’s first professional commission following the completion of her art training in Berlin. This is a plaster study for the final full-size marble statue, which is believed to have been destroyed in World War II.
