sculptress

Updated: June 20, 2025

There were artists with shapely heads and bright red beards, and here and there the white poll of an old man, sentimental friends of the elder Ruys; then there were connoisseurs, men of the world, bankers, brokers, and some young swells who came rather to see the fair sculptress than her sculpture, so that they would have the right to say that evening at the club: "I was at Felicia's to-day."

Alphonse Daudet - The Nabob, Volume 1

But the lively young sculptress knew better than to overdo: what she did must appear to spring all from mirth; so she laughed as if unwillingly, and said, "I MUSTN'T laugh at Mildred! In the first place, she's your your cousin. And in the second place, she's not meant to be funny; it isn't right to laugh at really splendid people who take themselves seriously.

Booth Tarkington - Alice Adams
