Note du spécialiste
Elsie March was on eight siblings who became artists, of which her and her brothers Vernon and Sydney were sculptors.
Elsie together with five of her siblings helped complete the bronze groups for the National War Memorial of Canada in Ottawa. This was a commission that was awarded to Vernon in open competition in January 1926 and was left incomplete when he died of pneumonia in 1930. The remaining siblings helped to finish it and it was unveiled in 1939.
Elsie sculpted various portrait busts, including Churchill and Beethoven.
