John Hutton Portrait, circa 1867 (illustrated above) A portrait in shell of John Hutton, successful New York City merchant, was cut for his twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Head of Flora, 1867 This onyx cameo was the last cut by Saint-Gaudens at the New York City workshop of his master Le Brethon. Mary Queen of Scots (for Augusta Homer), 1874 This engagement present was mounted as a ring.
