Arthur Schopenhauer (sculpture)[edit]

  • ... that although Arthur Schopenhauer had not invited her and initially refused to cooperate, Elisabet Ney nevertheless sculpted his portrait bust? Source: "The man at the door refused her entrance ... [Schopenhauer] assured her that her request was impossible. He had no wish to have a bust made." (Taylor, Bride Neill (1916). Elisabet Ney, Sculptor. Devin-Adair Publishing Company. pp. 27–28.)
