US #886 features Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the son of a shoemaker who went on to become a renowned sculptor. His life-size works decorate many American cities. He's still regarded as America's greatest sculptor. Saint-Gaudens also designed coins for the US Mint. He and his brother Louis established the "Cornish Art Colony", a retreat for artists in Cornish, New Hampshire.
