Emma Stebbins was the first woman awarded a public art commission in New York City, for her sculpture "Angel of the Waters" that stands atop the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. Most of what's known about Stebbins comes from the letters and press coverage of her relationship with famous American actress Charlotte Cushman.
Born in 1815, the daughter of a wealthy banker, Stebbins traveled to Rome when she was 42. She met Cushman through a social circle of other independent and often wealthy women artists and creators, and they started a romantic relationship that lasted the rest of their lives.
Cushman served as Stebbins’ greatest advocate and worked hard to promote her partner’s art. Many American newspapers discussed them interchangeably—whether they reported on Cushman’s acting tours or Stebbins’ sculptural works—but seem to celebrate their closeness and camaraderie without referring to the couple's true romantic relationship.
This image of Stebbins comes from an album of cartes-de-visites (small collectible photo cards) of notable 19th century American artists, in our @silibraries' American Art and Portrait Gallery Library collection. #PrideMonth #SmithsonianPride #BecauseOfHerStory
