Fanny Iglehart commissioned Ney to create this bust of her recently deceased husband, a prominent Austin physician. With one photograph and recollected stories from the Igleharts’ daughter, Ney was able to complete the plaster in three days. The final bronze bust was displayed atop a granite plinth, which was located at a watering trough near the then-entrance to Hyde Park, at Speedway and 38th Street. It is now located at Symphony Square on Red River St. downtown.
