<P> Bird Girl is cast in bronze and stands 50 inches (130 cm) tall . She is the image of a young girl wearing a simple dress and a sad or contemplative expression, with her head tilted toward her left shoulder . She stands straight, her elbows propped against her waist as she holds up two bowls out from her sides . The bowls are often described by viewers as "bird feeders". </P> <P> The sculpture was commissioned as a garden sculpture for a family in Massachusetts . A slight, eight - year - old model named Lorraine Greenman (now Lorraine Ganz) posed for the piece . </P> <P> Only four statues were made from the original plaster cast . The first went to the Massachusetts garden . The second was sent to Washington, D.C. and is now located in Reading, Pennsylvania . The third was purchased by a family in Lake Forest and has never relocated . The fourth and most famous statue was bought by a family in Savannah, Georgia, who named it Little Wendy and set it up at the family's plot in Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia . It has since been relocated to Telfair Museums' Jepson Center for the Arts, where it is on display for museum visitors . Judson donated the original plaster model to the Crow Island School in Winnetka, Illinois . </P> <P> The Bonaventure Cemetery statue sat virtually unnoticed until 1993, when Random House hired Savannah photographer Jack Leigh to shoot an image for the cover of John Berendt's new book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1994). At Berendt's suggestion, Leigh searched the Bonaventure Cemetery for a suitable subject . He found the sculpture next to a grave on the Trosdal family plot, at the end of his second day of searching, and had to make the shot quickly as dusk approached . He reportedly spent ten hours in the darkroom adjusting the lighting, giving the photo a moonlit feel and accentuating the halo around the statue's head . </P>
