Sir Jacob Epstein (British/American, 1880-1959)

Bronze with brown patina, approximately 12 x 9 x 6 in. (30.5 x
22.9 x 15.2 cm), on a stone plinth.
Provenance: Ex-collection of Lewis H. Weinstein, Boston,
Massachusetts; to private collection by family descent.
N.B. Epstein began his training at the Art Student’s League in
New York and continued at the Académie Julien in Paris. His
frequent visits to the Louvre inspired his lifelong interest in
ancient and primitive sculpture. He moved to London where he
became a citizen in 1907, and his first major commission was for
the British Medical Association headquarters in The Strand (now
Zimbabwe House).
After World War I, Epstein’s interests shifted away from angular
semi-abstraction to more figurative forms and he began modeling
portrait busts, such as the present work. Epstein received wide
acclaim for his portraits, enjoying commissions from such notable
figures as Joseph Conrad, G. B. Shaw, and T. S. Eliot.1
Epstein was introduced to the American stage actress Rita Romilly
(d. 1980) during his brief period in New York between 1927 and
1929.2 Romilly taught at the American Academy of Dramatic
Arts, and also privately, where she coached Paul Robeson, a friend
of Epstein’s.3 In his autobiography, Epstein fondly recalled
Romilly’s studio where “artists and writers gathered, and Paul
Robeson sang, and there was no formality of dress or speech.”4
