Gaston Lachaise acknowledged that his wife, Isabel Dutaud Nagel Lachaise, was "the primary inspiration which awakened my vision and the leading influence that has directed my forces." Head of a Woman is one of several sculpted portraits he made of her. Born in Paris, France, Gaston Lachaise immigrated to the United States in 1906.
