Felix de Weldon Sculpts a Leg

A man uses a cutting ring to sculpt leg muscles on a plaster figure

Felix de Weldon's statue is realistic--not just in appearance--but in construction. He built each figure from the inside out, with a steel skeleton and sculpted plaster flesh. Sculpted plaster clothing was the last layer.
