General William Tecumseh Sherman

Augustus Saint-Gaudens

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a bronze bust of General William Tecumseh Sherman. The bust is of a man with short hair and a beard, wearing a military-style jacket with epaulets on the shoulders. The jacket has a high collar and is buttoned up to the top, with six buttons visible on the front. A rectangular base supports the bust, featuring an etched leaf pattern around the edges. The name "William Tecumseh Sherman" is etched into a small rectangular plaque on the front of the base. The bust appears to be made of dark bronze or metal with a weathered appearance. The background is a plain gray color.
