GUEST: This is a Glenna Goodacre bronze statue.

I inherited it from my parents.

They collected a lot of art.

They traveled to New Mexico...

GUEST: ...and they, they picked this up in Santa Fe.

APPRAISER: She's a really wonderful artist.

She was born in 1939, and she died in 2020.

So, she studied at the Art Students League.

She was a member of the National Sculpture Society, a very prestigious organization.

She did the Vietnam Women's Memorial in Washington, D.C., which is probably her most prominent piece.

And she did a wonderful sculpture about Irish immigrants that's in Pennsylvania, And it's 35 life-size sculptures.

So it's really incredible.

And then she did the dollar coin.

So she depicted Sacagawea, who was a Shoshone guide for the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

GUEST: Hm.

APPRAISER: Most of her career she spent doing sculptures of Native Americans.

And I think here we have a wonderful depiction of a Native American child.

You had the original bill.

What was the title?

GUEST: The Orphan.

APPRAISER: The piece was made in 1993, and it's very clearly signed here, Glenna Goodacre.

And it's number eight in edition of 35.

And here it's dated 1993.

And interestingly enough, she signs it "G." She didn't want people to know that she was a woman artist.

APPRAISER: There was certainly prejudice against women sculptors.

Well, you can see this wonderful sort of loose technique here.

You get a feeling how the original was probably modeled in wax.

So you have this wonderful contrast between this very expressionistic kind of hair and a very smooth face.

You don't know what your parents paid for it.

GUEST: I think they paid a couple thousand dollars.

APPRAISER: In a retail setting, a replacement value, it's probably worth about $7,500.

GUEST: Oh, wow, great.

APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.
