John Quincy Adams Ward American
Cast by Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 762

在亚伯拉罕·林肯于1862年9 月22 日公布其《解放奴隶宣言》的第一部分之后，沃德制作了这个坐着的非洲裔美国人小塑像。这座塑像宣告了沃德的废奴主义观点，给那个时代最主要的政治和道德话题作了一个生动的注释。这位前奴隶的左手腕上和右手中象征奴役的镣铐已经断裂。沃德是十九世纪重要的现实主义雕塑家，他准确地描绘了这位健壮的主角的身体结构和面部特征。他可能在自己的家乡——俄亥俄州厄巴纳的某位居民身上找到了这位人物的灵感，也可能是在1858年造访南部时获得的灵感。
