Ethel Myers (1881-1960) exhibited nine sculptures in the Armory Show, including the
current work. She is known for her social realist sculptures of city dwellers, influenced by
Robert Henri. Her early Ashcan paintings gave way to figurative sculpture after her 1905
marriage to Jerome Myers, whose career eventually overshadowed her own.
