Vinnie Ream, who twenty months ago sailed to Earope with the model of her statue of Lincoln to be put in marble, has returned with her com- pleted work. It was placed some days ago in the rotunda of the Capitol, but screened from the public eye until it should be formally turned over to Congress. The act of Congress giving the commission to Miss Ream directs the Sec- retary of the Interior to contract with her “for a life-size mode] and statue of the late President Abraham Lincoln, to be executed by her ata price not exceeding $19,000; one half payable om completion of the model in plaster, and the re- maining half on completion of the statue in marble to his acceptance.” THE OFFICIAL INSPECTION OF THE BTATUR. Under the above provisions of the act requir- ing the official acceptance of the statue by the Secretary of the Interior, Secretary Delano notitied Miss Keam that he would view the work at 9 o'clock this morning. Accordingly at that hour quite a number ef members of Con- gress, journalists and a few personal friends of the artist, including her sister and her aged parents, were present to witness the interesting affair. Tuis, it will be remembered, is not the public unveiling of the statue on the occasion of turning it over to Congress, but is simply the private official inspection required, as above stated, of the Secretary of the Interior. Among those present were Secretary Delano, Assistant Secretary Otto, Senator ‘Trumbull, Gen. Farnsworth, Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, Judge Marshall and Kepresentatives Po- land, Lawrence, Armstrong and Ingersoll: After some preliminary work in removing the board-surroundings of the statue, the outline of the statue appeared, but still shrouded by its covering of cloth. ‘Lhe workmen then prepared to lift this veil, and there was a sudden bush in the buzz of conversation, in anticipation of the event. It must have been an anxious moment to the courageous little sculptor, and to her personal friends present. Could it be that the fragile youthful figure standing there, pale and anxious, and rendered more child-like in ap- pearance by her petite form and weaith of Dora-like curls, had made a success where so many older seulpturs—Brown notably and re- cently—had failed’ Was it possible that at ber age, and with her slight experience, she had made « statue of Abraham coln St to be placed in the Capitol of the nation? And then there was the formidable array of I!linoisians present, familiar with the living Lincoln, and prompt to detect a defective literal re tion, however good the work might be cally. The veil was raised slowly, di fir-t the base, bearing the simple words ABRABAM LINCOL then, the well-remembered form; ani finally and essentially, the head of the Patriot Mar- tyr. There was a momentary hush, and then an inveluntary, watm, and universal demon- stration ot applause gave the verdict ot the dis- tinguished and critical gathering. and assured the artist that her work was to be set down a success. There was another pause, while a more deliberate view was taken; and then an- other. and another round of applause confirmed and rendered final the involuntary decision from the first impression. And then every- turned to where the little sculptor- ,» @ little in the rear with glad in Ler eyes, and congratulations were poured in upon her from all quarters, ofticial and unoflicial; the Iilinoisians present boing foremost in expressing their satisfaction with her representation of the man they revered. ‘The expressed opinion ot Senator Trumbull and ethers from that State that the statve gives that thoughtful, benignant expression familiar to those who knew Mr. Liacoin best, aud which was best worth perpetuating in mar- bie. But he did not undertake, not being ta- miliar with art matters, to pronounce upon its artistic merits, though they struck him as de- cided. On all the points at issue, of likeness and artistic excellence, the opinion of so com- petent an authority as the di uished painter Kellogg, whe has both a European and Ameri- can reputation, will be read with interest, and we subjoin it in place of any less competent description of our own: “To model a life-size figure ef a subject ing many of the qualities which make trait statue attractive and impressive, and yet to meet the reasonable expectations of the many who knew the original personally so well, is to achieve a greater success then is usual in art. “It is ap ordeal requiring courage and ti faith of genius to meet; and especially so must ave n to Miss Keam, under the circu stances, which have lately attracted so public attention to the artist and to the work she now submits to the criticism of those who commissioned it. “ ‘The proportions of the work are very exact; an eatreordinary, merit i the ears of #ilent and laborious y given by Muss Keam to moon 3 ae entire anatomy ot before casting pery upon it. ‘he features of Mr. Lincolm are admirably rendered, and it was this faithful delineation of character which obtained for Miss Keam the commission for this statue over many abier com- petiters.

In the spirit of humor- ing @ child be lent her a medallion, and she re- turned home in triumph, declaring to her parents that from that time forth she was to be a sculptor. They, too, fell into the idea of humoring what they supposed to be the fancy of a day, but to their surprise she reso- tutely set about ber work and succeeded in making a copy of the medallion which not only surprised ber parents by its Gdelity, but which the sculptor received with openly expressive incredulity as the work of her untrained han‘s, from its sharpners of outline andother qualities usually the achievements only of experience and marked capacity. From that time her progress was very rapid, and she set herself down ‘to hard work and study im her arduous profession, in a manner quite wonderful for one of her years. The tdea put forth by some letter-writers of her own sex, that she was a vain, frivolous girl, seeking ad- miration and noteriety, only, was as absurdly untrue as it was cruel. 1t was only by resolutely ber gad herself all the ordinary amusements and pleasures of those of her years that she , and this BER STATUE OF LINCOLN. ‘The history of the passage of the resolution by Congress, awarding the young sculptor the important commission of making the nation’s statue of Abrabam Lincoln will be remembered. It was opposed by Mr. Sumner, on the ground of the doubtfulness of entrusting so important a work to one so young and inexperienced, and, mereover,—a woman. {[t was also — by Mr. Howard, who said that he would as soon expect a woman to write the llliad of Homer, or to lead an army, us to execute such a work. The resolution was stoutly defended by the brilliant McDougall, Compess, Nesmith, Howe, and others, who took the ition that the work already executed by Miss m justitied the com. mission, andon the woman question they charged home upon Messrs. Sumner and Howard that women had headed! armies successfully, had made statues succesafully, and that the -‘ Frag- ments of Sappho” were written by a woman. ‘The resolution, after a pretracted debate. passed the Senate bya vote of 25 to 9; and the House without opposition. Miss Keam having com- pleted her model, sailed for Europe, where she was accompanied by ber parents. VINNIE REAM IN BUROrE. Miss Ream seems to have received a good deal of kindly attention trom the artist celeb_ rities of the old world. In Paris, herself and father were accorded the rather rare privilege ef tree accees to the studio of GUSTAVE DORE the pressure of visitors upon that busy artist being #0 great that he is compelled to be ex- clusive. His studio is notably complete; spa- cious, carefully lighted, and supplied with do: eus of ease)s of all sorts, and other art-imple- ments, as well as with books, a piano, &c. He is thoroughly impulsive in his style of work; he bandles pencil or brush with astonisbing rapid- ity for awhile, then runs to the piano and dashes off a piece of music, and so on. At one time, wishing to illustrate to a col- ne the attitudes in some group in which —with @ capital V. . e threw himself upon the floor, worked id, boyish face into an e: jon of 1 and despair, and seizing the foot of , planted i m his breast to carry out the idea. Hi» mother, by Miss Keam as “a lovable old lady,” lives with him and takes care ot him. She believes him the “best son that ever lived,” and he certainiy seems devoted tO her. She takes intinite satis- faction in driving out daily ina graad turn-out with # span of white horses, a present from her son. Miss Ream enjoyed the opportunity of sittin; on the same scaifolding from which Dore wor! upon one of his large paintings, and of moting clorely the marvelous facility with which be handles the brush. Despite the vast amount of work he has done—carefuliy executed draw- ings numbered by thousands—and very many elaborate paintings in oil, he is but thirty-eight ae of age and looks not more than thirty. in dress apd 4p} nce he is German rather than French. Externatly he is joyous, hearty and genial, but underneath isa morbid melan- choly, and with health, prosperity, and world- wide fame, he continually wishes himself dead. Despite his masterly treatment of Bible subjects he describes himself as without religion, and when, on parting with Miss Ream ‘ished to give her some souvenir of his sketched a skeleton figure ho! arrow, and pore Neca his faith in human affections is her om parting a copy of his striking. pias i “Judith with the head of Holofernes,® Similar to his Bible illustration of that scene, but much superior in timish and effectiveness.

Miss Ream took a of Dore and also ot PERE HYACINTHE. ‘The latter she found at the convent at Passy, dressed ina coarse gown, b arefvoted, and with bead’ shaved. The room which he occupied was uncarpeted, and almost without furniture, He was at first inclined to think the rules of his order would not permit him to sit tor his bust, but the next day he wrote to Miss Keam to say that he found he could do so with propriety. and that he would consider it an honor to sit to one who had made likenesses of Abraham Lincoln and Thaddeus Stevens, for whom he had great admiration. Despite his homely garments and shaven head, the dignity and grace of the Pera were such as to irresistably impress all visitors. In Munich, Miss Ream met KAULBACH, the great German painter, and was treated by him with the greatest kindness. His studio was the reverse ot Dore’s, being small, crowded, and with everything in the greatest confusion, His room was crowded with the cartoons of his celebrated frescoes, mythological and histori- cal, in Berlin, and contained alse his noted picture of the Spirit Flight—an ange) mount- ing heavenward bearing a child in its arms. Kaulbach is a thin, elderly man, (in his 66th year,) but notably cheerful and kind-hearted. He wears a wig and cap, and paints in demo- cratic style, in his shirt sleeves. When Miss Ream, accompanied by her father, he catied out heartily, “ad's this ts ay iiaig 1 ” and aft zt for fruits’ nuts, and calor st guests.

C., SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1871. TWO CENTs. without parting. In movement he is elate and gracefal, and in manners be has the simplicity ofachild. He has received the homage of the world now for more than fifty years, for it was at the age of nine that he first entered upon his wondertully brilliant career. But, as im the case ef Dore, great success does not ensure bap- piness, and perhaps the saddest- hearted man in Rome is the renowned musician who bas re- celved decorations trom almost every crowned head in Eprope. Liszt paid much attertion toonr little Ameri- can sculptor, gave her sittings for a medallion, and brought the Duchess ot Colonna, the Bar- and a great many disting Koman ladies to visit her studio CARDINAL ANTONBLLI also paid the young artist the compliment of giving ber general sittings tor a bast, a favor be bad refused in all other cases, as he is now tably exclusive. His consent also was given in the shape of a compliment to our nation, ass courtesy to a daughter, as he said, of our great country, who came to Kome with a govern- ment commission. The Keams, by special in- vitation of the Cardinal, spent several noons at the Vatican, and while there had the opportunity of inspecting his magnificent p vate museum, perhaps the most interesting col- lection of things rare and beautiful extant. As asouvenir be gave Miss Ream a superb me- daijlion locket, baving a head ot Christ carved in stone cameo, set in etruscan gold and with Komanenamel. The genius, vivacity and child. like frankness of the American sculptor-girl seem to bave impressed the tamous Cardinal eS. and he wrote to her before she leit vome, encouraging her in her art career, com- mending her for ber noble devotion to her pa~ rents, and giving her his benediction. Anto- nelli, who has borne the cares of State in Kome for #0 many years with singular ability, and who was made a cardinal! shortly before the suc- cession of Pope Piux IX., is now stoop-shoul- dered, thim and sallow, but is brilliant of eye and most graceful and tascinating in manner. IN ROME Miss Ream was received most cordially by her artist colleagues and others—by Randolph Kog- ers, Buchanan Kead, Heal Rbinehart, Ives, Mozier, Story, Tilton, Miss Hosmer, Miss Steb- bins, and by the Italian artists Kosetti, Tado- lini, Ansigilioni, &c. OPINION OF THE ARTISTS. Healy's studio was in the house adjoining bers, and he and Story were among her best friends and most judicious advisers in the execu- tion of the work,in which they took great interest Story, who employs some twenty-five men in the mechanical work of putting his models into marble, selected the workmen for her statue, and by his advice she made some slight alter- ations in the drapery over one arm ot her model, im which change Healy concurred. Story then declared that he would stake his reputation on the statue. Healy, whe has painted the best portrait executed of Abraham Lincoln, also wrote Miss eam a letter after the statue was my #incere congr: likeness you have obtained in your statue of President Lincoln. It represents the very man- ner of our noble Patriot Martyr, and will, I fee) sure, give great satisfaction to our people when placed in the Capitol. Your tender care of your father and mother has touched me greatly,” &c. &e. After she had secured a room and mounted her model in it, Miss Ream gave a reception, and her studio was crowded for two or three days by the artist fraternity in Rome, and by the leading people there; and the admiration and sympathy of the people for the courageous young American artist was exhibited by the da:ly contributions of the choicest flowers tor the decoration of ber studio. TRE ART JOURNAL OF RONE ON THE REAN LINCOLN. The art journal of Rome, Buonarotti, which is noted for the severity of its judgments, and which rarely condescends to notice an American artist, makes the following mention of Mix Keam’s Lincoln, which was translated from the Italian of that paper by Bishop Domenec, ot Pitteburg, who was at the Ecumenical Council. “ A semi-colossa! statue of Abraham Lincoln made of plaster from the model executed in clay, by a young lady artist, was on exhibit: a tew days ago, in her studio, No. 45 Via de San Basilie. The name of the artist is Miss Vinnie Ream, who received from the goverrment of the United States the commission of making that statue, over many competitors. She ha~ most justly perceived how a monumental statue of President Lincoln should be represented, so that the living to whom he was known it see in the expression and character of the de- ceased, and osterity might form a just idea of the man, whe held his high office in times very pay difficult, = who, pope lsd en- in carrying on the frostest repara- ae to humanity, fell a victim to a blind fanati- cism. Therefore, Lincoln is represented seri- ous, calm, melascholy, etanding erect, dressed in th ‘times, yet rendered artis- tically, as far as possible to be done, by the combination of the folds, naturally formed by the movement of the person, and eariched with the gracefully falling cloak, which nearly covers the whole back part of the figure. He holds in his right hand opr: in the form of a ea rus, on whose folds can be read words reterri to the abolition of slavery. He looks at the document, aud one can almost read his inten- tion to consign to that solemn act his future fame and immortality, being sure of the judg- ment which the nation would put upon that he deserved well of his country, for he his Hfo to the duty of that cio ana «A brilliant career in art attends Miss Vin- nie Ream, who, so young, has produced the $ great k we have described. But another occasion so favorable may not return to the fair artist to transmit to y her name, where, ascociated with the name of Lincoln, and to the gteatact of the emencipation of siavery, her = will be placed in the Capitol of Washing- mn.” ‘THE MARBLE. The selection of a proper piece of marble for ber work was an early consideration, calling for several visits to tue great quarries of Car- rera, and Miss Keam was so fortunate as to secure a block that eur Consul at Carrera says is the most perfect he has seen in thirty years’ residence there.
