Joseph Joachim, the Hungarian violinist, composer, and conductor, and his wife, a noted contralto, commissioned these portrait busts. The iron tacks in the bust of Frau Joachim are part of a process called pointing, in which the stonecutter takes measurements from the plaster cast to make an identical copy in marble. The marble bust was exhibited in London, but its current location is unknown.
