HOSMER, HARRIET GOODHUE (183o-19o8) , American sculptor, was born at Watertown, Massachussetts, on the 9th of October 1830. She early showed marked aptitude for model-ling, and studied anatomy with her father, a physician, and afterwards at the St Louis Medical College. She then studied in Boston until 1852, when, with her friend Charlotte Cushman, she went to Rome, where from 1853 to 186o she was the pupil of the English sculptor John Gibson. She lived in Rome until a few years before her death.

Among her works are " Daphne " and Medusa," ideal heads (1853); " Puck " (1855), a spirited and graceful conception which she copied for the prince of Wales, the duke of Hamilton and others; "
