Sculptor. Born USA, not to be confused with his father also a sculptor with the same name, of Irish descent. In London c.1894-8, met and worked with John Singer Sargent. Also worked in Paris c.1903-14. Back in America commissioned for the 1918 Lincoln statue at Springfield, Illinois. The Royal Exchange bust is surely a version of this.
