Remarks:
The bust was purchased by Walter Rosen for his private estate in Katonah, New York called Caramoor. A foundation set up by Rosen took over the estate in 1968. Now called the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts, the foundation offers tours of the house and grounds and hosts a summer music program. The bust was formerly installed in a niche in the south wall of the new wing of the house. In 1992 it was installed in the Sunken Garden near the entrance to the Venetian Theatre.
