Annie Moore Cobh
Annie Moore Cobh measures approximately 7" high. Jeanne Rynhart’s life-size bronze sculptures have become treasured icons of Ireland and admired by millions of people worldwide. Her legacy and status as one of Ireland’s most prominent artists is reflected in each piece of bronze art. Each piece of art, faithfully reproduced from Jeanne’s original sculptures, are hand finished to the highest standards of craftsmanship. This piece comes with a beautiful box, Certificate of Authentication, cleaning cloth and card.
The original of this particular piece stands out the Cobh Heritage Center in Co. Cork. Annie Moore became the first ever emigrant to be processed in Ellis Island when it officially opened on 1st January 1892. Annie and her brothers sailed from Queenstown (now called Cobh) on the SS Nevada on the 20th December and arrived after 12 days of travelling in steerage.
Another Annie Moore by Jeanne Rynhart stands on Ellis Island in New York's harbour.
Jeanne Rynhart continues to work from her home studio overlooking the tranquil and inspiring shores of Bantry Bay in West Cork, Ireland.
