Bust of Dolley Madison

William John Coffee, an English-born artist, sculpted this terracotta bust of Dolley Madison in 1818, the year after he arrived in the United States. Coffee also created busts of Madison's husband, James Madison, and her son John Payne Todd. This bust is currently on display in the Joe and Marge Grills Gallery at the Montpelier Visitor Center. Montpelier, the Orange County home of the Madison family, is open to the public as a museum.
