Statue of Thomas Cass by Richard E. Brooks, 1899

Richard Edwin Brooks (1865–1919)[1] was born in Braintree, Massachusetts, studied in Paris under the sculptor Jean-Paul Aubé (1837–1916). His early work Chant de la Vague (Song of the Wave) was idealistic; later works were more conventional statues.[2]
