Sculptor Harriet G. Hosmer (1830-1908) was born the second child of Hiram and Sarah Hosmer of Watertown, MA. Upon the death of her mother and siblings, Harriet became quite a tomboy in her father's care. She studied art in Boston under Stevenson and also attended the Lenox School. After enrolling as a student of anatomy in an all-male medical school in Missouri, she moved to Rome in 1852 to become a student of English sculptor John Gibson. She remained in Europe for most of the remainder of her life, living in Rome and spending summers in England. Her Neo-Classical style of sculpture was noted in both the United States and Europe.
