 | Henry Cabot Lodge 1890 | 
Lodge began
his career in Congress in 1887, armed with all the confidence that his
distinguished New England ancestry, Harvard education, and wide circle of

a barrowed studio in New York on twenty-third street and Lexington Avenue, this
portrait was done in exchange for the sculpted bronze that Saint-Gaudens was
doing of John's sister. The two friends took great pleasure in each of their
assignments.
The unusual
