Child verses and illustrations by Caroline Risque, page two.Title:The Potter's Wheel, Volume 1, Number 2, page 59, December 1904

Before moving to Paris for two years, both studying and working, Caroline Risque was a sculptor of local fame. Her first sales were to her own teachers at the Art School at Washington University. One of Risque's most ambitious pieces of work, modeled in her own Paris studio, was a fountain which was exhibited at the 1913 Paris Salon. which was favorably received by the French press. Her ambition was to create decorative works: fountains, gates, portals and mantels; objects and subjects in which she could be entirely original. Risque sold many pieces while abroad, one of them going to the home of an ambassador, and another to the New Orleans Museum of Art.
