Who Is This Guy? 1946 bronze plaque

[on.off]

This was found in an old VT barn. It is a bronze plaque, maybe commemorative or memorial, with a man on it. It is signed 1946 WF. It has 2 hooks on the back and also remnants of some sort of cement or adhesive. The bronze shows patina and weathering, it may have been outside, maybe mounted on a monument or building. It is about 9" by 6".

I am hoping somebody may be able to ID this man or the sculptor. I realize it could just be some person's family member made for a tomb or an obscure local figure rather than anybody historical.

For some reason or another, the side profile makes me think that he's an Asian fella

I'd say Warren Austin is a good guess.

I agree with SkySgt in that it looks like Senator Warren Austin. The piece is dated 1946, which is when Austin resigned his position.



Nice find
