Chloe and Lucinda: Delaware's Nubian Goats

In Newark, Delaware, the home of the University of Delaware campus, a bronze-cast sculpture of two Nubian goats is an interesting if not unusual landmark. Donated by Edward Jefferson and his wife Naomi in honor of their sons, the goats (known as Chloe and Lucinda) were created by artist André Harvey using a technique known as lost wax casting. In the fall of 2011, undergraduate students in the Art Conservation program at UD planned and executed a conservation treatment on these goats to preserve them for future classes to enjoy.

In the fall of 2011, the University of Delaware’s undergraduate art conservation students sought to conserve André Harvey’s bronze sculpture of these two Nubian goats. As a class, we evaluated the condition of the goats and conducted cleaning and waxing of the sculpture. These pictures were taken before treatment began and were included in the condition report on the sculpture.
