The Winged Liberty portrait is based upon a bust that Weinman did in 1913 of Elsie Kachel Stevens, wife of well-known poet Wallace Stevens.

It is generally believed that in fashioning the dime design, Weinman based his Winged Liberty portrait on a bust he had done in 1913 of Elsie Kachel Stevens , wife of well-known poet Wallace Stevens.
