Title A name given to the resource Weeping Woman Sculpture Subject The topic of the resource Hawaii Cemeteries Weeping Woman Stephan Abel Sinding Anna Charlotte Rice Cooke Description An account of the resource WEEPING WOMAN by Stephan Abel Sinding (4 August 1846 – 23 January 1922) This sculpture was designed and sculpted by famous Norwegian artist Stephan Sinding. It was cast in 1912 and is thought to have been commissioned by Anna Charlotte Rice Cooke, founder of the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Her relative, Dora Isenberg, had commissioned a similar Sinding sculpture for a site in Lihue, Kauaʻi. We know that Anna Cooke was involved in the Isenberg commission, and it is surmised that she ordered this statue for the Mission Memorial Cemetery after she saw the one on Kauaʻi installed in 1911. Anna’s husband Charles Montague Cooke, Sr died in 1909 and is buried in this cemetery. As the cemetery is also the location of the Cooke family plot, it seems probable that she thought the sculpture a fitting memorial to the members of the Cooke family buried here. Anna Rice Cooke died in 1934 and is buried with her husband and his family.
