Edith Barretto Stevens Parsons
Born in Halifax, Virginia, Edith Parsons studied at the Art Students League in New York with John Twachtman, Daniel Chester French, and George Bernard. Her specialty was memorial fountains including ones in John Galloway Public Park in Memphis, Tennessee, in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Summit, New Jersey. She also did several portrait busts and animal figures. From 1908 to 1933, she exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design. Her work, "Frog Baby" is the focal point of the museum of small sculpture in Brookgreen Gardens, Murrell's Inlet, SC. Source: Peter Falk, "Who Was Who in American Art"

The Big Duck
, a Bronze Sculpture by Edith Barretto Parsons, 1920
Located in Chicago, IL
'The Big Duck,' a captivating bronze sculpture by Edith Barretto Parsons, is a masterpiece of artistry and emotion. Created in 1920, this sculpture beautifully captures the innocence and unbridled joy of childhood. In this enchanting piece, a toddler cradles a large duck against their chest, the bird's wings outstretched in a playful dance while its feet kick with exuberance. The child's expression is a priceless reflection of pure delight.
