In his leisure moments as a carpenter he started by carving portraits in cameo, and then began to model in clay with much success. Among his works are: ''The White Captive'' (I858) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; ''Peace in Bondage'' (1863); ''Angel at the Sepulchre'' (1865), Albany, New York; a bronze statue of ''Chancellor Robert R. Livingston'' (1874), in Statuary Hall, Capitol, Washington; and many portrait busts. He died in Albany on the 9th of March 1904. His son, Walter Launt Palmer (b. 1854 to 1932), who studied art under Carolus-Duran in Paris, became a member of the National Academy Of Design (1897); and is best known for his painting of snow scenes.
