An abundance of detail brings visual energy to Margaret Foley’s medallion portrait of her friend, the English poet Mary Howitt (1799–1888). Self-taught in the art of carving, Foley received high praise for the sensitivity of her relief sculptures, and she exhibited this plaque in the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. Its complicated workmanship, particularly in the lace shawl, demonstrates a shift in sculptural taste away from the smooth lines of Neoclassicism in favor of complexity and pattern. Like other talented American women, Foley moved to Italy for greater professional and social freedom. Here she included the word ROMA both in the signature and on the sitter’s necklace.2013.11
