Well did you know the original statue of liberty was supposed to be a woman with shackles to show the atrocity of slavery? That's what I heard. I saw the copy in a museum here in New York--I see a lot of exhibits, but I believe it is at the Museum of City of New York. Do a google image search to see if you can find a picture.

Aha, here is a site that says a little about this statue and who the model was:

Various sources cite different models for the face of the statue. One indicated the then-recently widowed Isabella Eugenie Boyer, the wife of Isaac Singer, the sewing-machine industrialist.
Another source believed that the "stern face" belonged to Bartholdi's mother, Charlotte Bartholdi (1801-1891), with whom he was very close. National Geographic magazine also pointed to his mother, noting that Bartholdi never denied nor explained the resemblance.

She's nobody. Well, technically, she was probably modeled on someone, but just a paid model. Bartholdi simply personified Liberty in the form of a woman bearing a torch, which had a long tradition in France.

Answer 6

I believe the sculptor's wife was the model. I saw it on a PBS special, which you might be able to find on video at your local library. Was his name... Bartholi? Bartholdi?
