Artist: Lorado Taft 

Taft made his low-relief, half-size portrait of Sharp from photographs, representing her as a dignified young woman in academic robes. During the working period, a minor dispute arose over the use of the appellation “Founder” in the inscription, but Taft balked at the possibility of having to redesign the lettering at that late date.
