Bessie Potter Vonnoh (1872-1955)

According to Janis Conner, there are four located examples of A Young Mother cast by Henry-Bonnard, including those in the collections of the Montclair Art Museum, Montclair, New Jersey, and The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, California. A Young Mother was also subsequently cast at Roman Bronze Works, with examples numbering up to twenty-four entered in their ledger books.
