Cast of Lorne’s left ear, 1886

Subject

Gallery One, European Gallery

Description

Ney created many plaster casts using friends and family members as models, such as this ear of Lorne and clasped hands of Lorne and Cenci, the family’s lifelong house keeper. Some, such as the large nose (said to be modeled after Michelangelo’s David) and the foot, were mass produced for use by artists and technical illustrators. These studies of the human anatomy exemplify Ney’s dedication to achieving an accurate portrayal of her subjects.
