The Statue of Liberty

James Le Jeune was born in Saskatoon, Canada. His connection to the American continent remained throughout his life and artistic career. He became a member of the Art Student's League of New York, and it was probably his sentiment for the city that inspired the subject matter for the present work (see also lots 123 and 124). Although Le Jeune was both educated and lived in London, he was later to live in Dublin.
