Lee Is respected by all for his integrity in leadership. "Do your Duty in all things. You cannot do more, You should never wish to do less." Lee.
    The original cast was taken Oct 12th 1870 by Clark Mills immediately upon General Lee's Death.  Lee Graduated from West Point in 1829 second in his class. In 1831 he married Mary, Daughter of the adopted son of George Washington.  In 1861 Lee was strongly against secession but felt obliged to be on the side of Virginia his home state. Federal Authorities offered Lee the command of the Army to invade the South. Lee refused and went to Richmond. He was made a Brigadier General in the Confederate Service.
    This sculpture started with an actual death cast  mask of Robert E. Lee taken in 1870. See photo below.Then it has been sculpturaley enhanced by me Erick Erickson. The Hair, eye brows and beard have been added. The eyes have been sculpted open reflecting determination.The Uniform, collar and cravat are all cast from the real things so you can see every stitch. The detail is what makes it live. The result is now when you look at this work of art it is Robert E. Lee just as he sat for the photos by Julian Vannerson in 1863.

The finished piece is cast in USG's gypsum cement, it will last forever.  It is finished in Memorial Bronze then rubbed with an antiquing overlay to bring out the detail.  The piece is then sealed with a clear coat to preserve the finish. The bust can stand alone on any flat surface or it can be hung on the wall because the back is flat it comes with hanging instructions and the screw.
