A Modern Crusader
Malvina Cornell Hoffman American
Colonel Milan Pribićević, a hero of the Serbian army in the Balkan Wars, visited the United States in the winter of 1916–17 to recruit volunteers for the cause. Hoffman met Pribićević in New York City through her sister, Helen Draper, a board member of the New York chapter of the American Red Cross. Hoffman modeled two portraits of Pribićević. The first, smaller bust represented him in military uniform. A Modern Crusader, which followed, also shows him in uniform, with epaulets and an ensign on his chest and with a woolen knitted helmet covering his head and framing his strong features.
