Robert Louis Stevenson is a notable bas-relief portrait by the eminent American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, created in 1887-1888. This artwork immortalizes the Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer Robert Louis Stevenson, celebrated for his classic works such as "Treasure Island," "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde," and "Kidnapped." The portrait is distinguished by its unique presentation and the intimate friendship that existed between Stevenson and Saint-Gaudens, which adds a profound depth to the artwork.

The bas-relief captures Stevenson in a moment of casual repose, lounging in bed with his writing materials—a setting that reflects the author's chronic health issues that often confined him to bedrest, yet also highlights his relentless creativity and productivity even in adversity. Saint-Gaudens's choice of this informal and intimate setting over a traditional pose underscores a modern approach to portraiture, emphasizing personality and character over formal attributes or status.

Crafted in bronze, the relief showcases Saint-Gaudens's mastery of the medium, his ability to convey texture, and his keen eye for detail, which together breathe life into the metal. The work is celebrated for its technical excellence and its ability to capture the essence of Stevenson's character—his intellectual vibrancy, his warmth, and his spirited nature.

The Robert Louis Stevenson relief is not only a testament to the artistic skill of Augustus Saint-Gaudens but also serves as a poignant reminder of the personal connection and mutual respect between artist and subject. It stands as a significant piece within Saint-Gaudens's oeuvre, reflecting the sculptor's innovative approach to portraiture and his contribution to American art at the turn of the 20th century.

This artwork has been exhibited in various prestigious institutions and holds a place of honor in the collections of several major museums, underlining its importance in the context of American sculpture and its enduring appeal as a representation of Robert Louis Stevenson. Through this portrait, Saint-Gaudens immortalizes Stevenson, offering future generations not only a likeness but a tangible connection to the literary figure's spirited and contemplative nature.
