Her most famous image is that of the body of the statue of the goddess Diana by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. A biographical snippet related to that is here.
As this link mentions, she posed for Thomas Wilmer Dewing. She also posed once for Dennis Miller Bunker.
If readers know of other paintings or sculptures based on Dudie, please let us know in a comment.
This and all but one of the paintings below are by Dewing.
Based on facial features, my guess is that this painting and the one above it feature Dudie.
This was by Dennis Miller Bunker.
After reading this I looked closely at a pair of bronzes by Harriet Frismuth at the David Owsley Museum here and it looks like Dodie to me. Particularly the profile. (have images)/Users/steve/Desktop/Frismuth/1995.035.159-02_detail.jpg/Users/steve/Desktop/Frismuth/1995.035.160-01_detail.jpg
ReplyDeleteJulia Baird was my grandmother's aunt. My grandmother was Dorothy Baird, later Dorothy Gallagher and then Dorothy Lisiecki. Love hearing stories about her. "Dudie" was a legend in the family.
