Matthew E. Welsh (bust)
The bust of ''Matthew E. Welsh'' is a public artwork by American artist Daniel Edwards. It is located on the third floor of the Indiana Statehouse, which is in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. The bronze bust depicts Matthew E. Welsh, the 41st governor of Indiana (1961–1965).〔(Indiana Historical Bureau,"Matthew E. Welsh,"''IN.gov'', IN.gov, n.d., Web. Retrieved 22 Nov. 2010 )〕 The bust measures 23.5 x 12.75 x 12 inches and has a wooden base which measures 4 x 14.75 x 10.5 inches. In 1996, one year after Welsh's death, the Indianapolis law firm of Bingham, Summers, Welsh & Spilman commissioned artist Daniel Edwards to sculpt the bust of Welsh.〔Sebring, Edward L., "Welsh now has lasting legacy at Statehouse," ''Vincennes Sun-Commercial'', 31 Dec. 1996, A1, A6, Print.〕 The bust was dedicated in a ceremony at the Indiana Statehouse on December 20, 1996.〔

The bust is 23.5 inches tall, 12.75 inches wide, and 12 inches long. Its wooden base measures 4 inches tall, 14.75 inches wide, and 10.5 inches long.〔 The bust is located in a limestone alcove on the third floor of the Indiana Statehouse, near the Senate Chambers.〔(Indiana Statehouse Tour Office,"The Indiana Statehouse: A Self-Guided Tour,"''IN.gov'', IN.gov, 2001, Web. Retrieved 6 Dec. 2010 )〕 A black plaque is attached to the limestone under the bust. The plaque reads as follows: "Matthew E. Welsh/ 1912-1995/ Indiana State Representative/ 1940-1943/ Lieutenant U.S. Navy/ 1943-1946/ United States Attorney/ 1950-1952/ Indiana State Senator/ 1954-1960/ 41st Governor of Indiana/ 1961-1965".〔Matthew E.

The bust is in very good condition, according to a condition report done by the Indiana State Museum.〔
Daniel Edwards created the bust by first sculpting a clay model. A foundry then made a mold, which it used to cast the final bronze version of the bust.〔
