An account of the resource
Hollow painted plaster cast of an unidentified bearded man, executed in the classical manner with the head at a slight turn to the right. The man's wavy hair brushes the tops of his ears; he has a neatly trimmed full beard and no mustache. Incised below the left shoulder: Chs Bullett 1855.
French-born sculptor and stoneworker Charles Bullett (1820-1873) studied at L'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris before moving to New York City in 1848, and then to Cincinnati, Ohio in 1850. He earned widespread acclaim for his sculpture, and served as the principal of the sculpture department during the building of the capitol in Columbus. He eventually settled in Louisville, Kentucky, where he helped establish the Muldoon Monument Company, a marble cutting firm highly regarded for its work throughout Kentucky and the American South. Bullett supervised the production of monuments in the firm’s workshop in Carrara, Italy, until he died in 1873.
