About this person

Doris Doscher was an American actress and model who appeared in the movie The Birth of a Race (1915), playing the role of "Eve." She posed as Liberty for the Standing Liberty quarter (1916-1930) by Hermon Atkins MacNeil. She was also the model for the Pulitzer Fountain of Abundance by Karl Bitter in front of the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Though often attributed to model Audrey Munson, Doscher wrote "I worked with Carl [sic] Bitter as the original model for the measurements and modeling of the body... Audrey Munson modeled a few days just for the head." Doscher does not mention modeling for Konti upon continuation, and given how similar Bitter's plaster and Konti's finished bronze are, the final sculpture is likely a composite of both models.
