From A Brief Guide to the Works of Art on Display in the Mark Twain House by Steve Courtney, September 2020:
Two bas-reliefs of women pouring out water from jugs, plaster (1965.15.8 and 1965.15.9)
Two plaster bas-reliefs of women in classical costume flank the south window of the billiard room. Though it is unclear what classical examples may have served as models for these, they were manufactured by P.P. Caproni & Bro of Boston, the same manufacturer who supplied the bust of Wagner in the schoolroom.
