Bust of Jennie Walters
(18th and 19th Centuries )
Rinehart was born in Union Bridge, Maryland, and attended evening classes at the Maryland Institute of the Mechanic Arts (now the Maryland Institute College of Art—MICA). After an initial trip to Europe in 1855, he returned in 1858 and settled in Rome, where he quickly found favor with critics and patrons. Rinehart modeled this bust of Jennie Walters while she was visiting Europe with her father, William, in 1873, and it was translated into marble by Italian craftsmen working in Rhinehart's studio the following year, shortly before the sculptor's death. Jennie’s father William was an art collector, and her older brother, Henry, later founded the Walters Art Museum.
