Bust of Henry Walters
(18th and 19th Centuries )
One of six busts commissioned in 1930, derived from an original model in plaster.
Schuler, a native of Lorraine (in present-day France), was raised in Baltimore and attended the School of Art and Design at the Maryland Institute. He received the Rinehart Prize, enabling him to study in Paris. After receiving awards at the Paris Salon, Schuler returned to Baltimore, where he pursued a highly successful career as the city's leading sculptor.
