Vintage sculpture of sad woman in grief. Virgin Mary bronze statue. Religion, faith, suffering, death concept.

$This tranquil sculpture by Augustus Lukeman (1872-1935) is the centerpiece of a memorial to Isador and Ida Straus, who both perished during the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. \n\nMr. Straus and his wife Ida were returning home on the Titanic when it struck the iceberg. Straus, a gentleman of that time, stayed on board and helped his wife into a lifeboat. But, according to testimony before congress, she turned back to him and said, “We have been together a number of years …Where you will go I will go.”\n\nIsador Straus was a co-owner, with his brothers, of R.H. Macy & Company (“Macy’s”.) He was an exceedingly decent and generous person. The New York Times would call him “a supporter of almost every philanthropic and charitable institution in New York, \nregardless of creed.” \n\nThe outpouring of mourning in New York City led to the creation of a small park at Broadway and 106th Street on a triangular lot. The statue faces north near the south end of the park.\n\nLukeman used Audrey Munson as his model. Munson posed for more than a dozen important statues, sculptures, and friezes, most of which still stand to this day across Manhattan and Brooklyn. She is now often called “America’s First Supermodel.”$
