Hidden Marble Sculpture Resurfaces | Entertainment and Celebrity News
Description
A forgotten garden marble bust, covered in lichen and thought to be junk for 70 years, is now poised to sell for £18,000 — revealing itself as a rare 1854 masterpiece by Harriet Goodhue Hosmer, America’s first professional female sculptor and a trailblazing feminist. Discovered in a Cotswolds garden, the Daphne bust — inscribed “Rome made me” — is one of only three known marble versions, all now museum pieces. The family had no idea its true value until they stumbled upon it during a home cleanup, reminding us that history’s greatest treasures often hide in plain sight — waiting for someone to look twice.
