Description
Julius Runge, the son of German immigrants, was a prominent merchant, financier, and public official based in Galveston. He was also The German Consul for the young state, and helped Ney acquire the Liendo Plantation in Hempstead. In 1887, she visited Galveston to make these portraits of Runge and his wife as a token of thanks. The couple became longtime friends, and Johanna would be one of the founders of the Texas Fine Arts Association. These busts were donated to the museum by Johanna shortly before her death.
