Her small plaster titled The Pioneer (also known as Daniel Boone, 1924) plus one more beast sits on the table. Small, table sculptures were popular during the late 19th and early 20th century due to the rise of middle class incomes.

    Statue of Pallas Athena outside the Parthenon, displayed at the Tennessee Centennial Exposition in Nashville, Tennessee. The statue was twenty-five feet tall (forty feet with the base) and became the symbol of the Exposition. It was an exact copy of the "Pallas de Velletrie" in the Louvre and was produced in staff, a combination of plaster, hemp, and cement. It eventually fell apart due to outdoor exposure. Today limited images exist of the full statue, including this one housed at the Filson.
