<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 8277674, member: 79705&quot;]Makes sense. I had always assumed no one was sitting for a full carved portrait, but maybe a sketch, or even a clay version if the cameist was also a sculptor. I read the JCK account of doing <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/4070650" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/4070650" rel="nofollow">Audubon&#039;s portrait</a> and it mentioned him sitting for the the whole portrait (whatever medium that was in). JCK did keep his studio around other artists so photography was available later, although only just commercially viable in 1850 when my portrait was done, and not available commercially when the 2 Audubon portraits were done. Now makes me wish we could see some of those preparatory pieces, whatever they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>This second one claims to be a cast from an intaglio cut &quot;from life&quot; sometime between 1840 and 1845.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]426376[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
