Biographical notes:

Marion Sanford (1904-1987) and Cornelia Chapin (1893-1972) were sculptors from Lakeville, Conn. and New York, N.Y.

Sanford was known for bronze portraits, bas-reliefs, and figures of women doing farm work or household chores. She was an active exhibitor at the National Academy of Design. Chapin was a direct carver specializing in animals. She worked in Paris during the 1930s. In the late 1930s, Chapin and Sanford became companions, and shared the former studio of Gutzon Borglum.
