Death Mask of William Clarke Mason
Harry Rosin
This rather somber piece by Rosin demonstrates an age-long tradition of honoring notable persons after their death by making a transfer of their features in plaster. Mason was a lawyer and great supporter of the Academy in the first half of the last century.
