A teenage girl in a studio once posed nude for this sculptor—back in 1907, anyone who saw the photos called her a “bad girl.” The woman behind the camera and chisel, Abastenia St. Leger Eberle, liked young bodies and New York streets equally; she sculpted dancing crowds on Lower East Side sidewalks and posed her own nieces in the studio. Slide over to her plaster maquette labeled “Girl Skating” at the Met and you’ll feel the same push: gritty, alive, a little messy.
