Daniel Chester French spent his summers painting and sculpting at Chesterwood, his Stockbridge home.
French worked in a nearby studio.
The studio has a beautiful view out into the Berkshires.
French's best known work is the seated bronze Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial at the end of the Mall in Washington, D. C. This is a much smaller plaster version of that sculpture.

That is an outstanding view, and a masterpiece of an exhibit!
Great post Jack. Thank you. In DC, there is an old archive building where I happened to run into copies of his sculptures. I can't remember the name of the building now.
