Below are pictured virtually every existing sculpture that John Rogers published in plaster, including variations. Variations were particular groups where, for either aesthetic or structural reasons, Rogers decided to make a change to the original composition of the statue and from that time forward only sold casting of the "new and improved" version. An example would be the three variations of "Council of War" in which the position of Stanton’s hands have been changed.
There are a few pieces that Rogers is known to have published, such as "The Farmer’s Home" for which no copy has been located and for which no photograph was available. If examples of these pieces are ever discovered, they will be added to the gallery below.
A lady who is supposed to be an invalid is seated in a chair. Standing to her left is a doctor who is holding her hand and feeling her pulse. He is unsuccessfully expressing his opinion to and trying to win over the doctor on her right who is indignantly buttoning up his coat and preparing to leave, but not before his umbrella pokes the ribs of the patient, who is quite amused by the disagreement.
