Hettie Anderson

Hettie Anderson (1873-January 10, 1938) was an art model and muse who posed for sculptors and painters as prominent as Daniel Chester French, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, John La Farge, Anders Zorn (1860-1920), Bela Pratt, Adolph Alexander Weinman, and Evelyn Beatrice Longman. Among Anderson's high-profile likenesses are the winged Victory figure on the William Tecumseh Sherman (Saint-Gaudens) monument at Grand Army Plaza in Manhattan and $20 gold coins known as the Saint-Gaudens double eagle. Theodore Roosevelt deemed Victory "one of the finest figures of its kind." Saint-Gaudens described Anderson as "certainly the handsomest model I have ever seen of either sex" and considered her "Goddess-like."
