William Ordway Partridge modeled a series of portraits of English writers, including Keats, Milton, and Shelley. In these sculptures the facial features are clearly defined while the hair and clothing have been left rough. The stern expression and dramatic profile of Alfred, Lord Tennyson suggest a man of formidable intelligence.
