This book is dedicated to the work of the sculptor Mariano Benlliure (Valencia, 1862-Madrid, 1947) in the United States, preserved mainly in New York City, in the collection of the Hispanic Society of America.

His first New York clients were the magnate, collector and patron Henry G. Marquand, second president of the Metropolitan Museum, who signed a first commission with Benlliure in 1883, and Samuel Ward, another prominent art lover and influential figure in American society, who asked him to sculpt his bust around the same time. However, his main benefactor during the first third of the 20th century was Archer M. Huntington, founder of the Hispanic Society of America, who commissioned an important series of portraits of the most prominent figures of the Spanish cultural scene of the time, in addition to buying other works for the institution. However, his most important sculptural project was the monument to Congressman William A. Jones for the city of Warsaw, Virginia.
