[...] Into the studio of Mr. Gibson, Miss Hosmer [the young sculptor] has been admitted as a pupil, and receives from that artist, a most admirable master, all the advice she needs, all the encouragement a generous heart can bestow. She has already modeled the head of the Venus of Milo, a beautiful antique torso, and is now engaged on the Cupid of Praxiteles. It may gratify her many American friends to hear that great interest is felt in her, and warm admiration expressed for her genius, not alone by Mr. Gibson, but by many of the first artists in Rome. She is a marvel to them for her industry, her modest confidence, her quiet enthusiasm; for her fine feeling for and knowledge of her art. They all say that the copies she has made--which by the way have been chosen as difficult studies--have been executed not alone with ease, and taste, and faithfulness, but in the truest and highest style of art. With the full consent of Mr. Gibson, she is soon to model some of her own ideal compositions.
