Hazeltine relocated to Rhode Island where he lived in Providence and Pawtucket. He is famous for his sculpture which he made from a secret formulation of colored plaster. He took his mysterious plaster recipe to his grave. This example is made of such plaster. Please see picture number nine to view a different example of his work.
