Nothing Left
by Francis J. Barnum
What this piece is
“Nothing Left” is a recognized title in Barnum’s Chilmark Fine Pewter Civil War series, confirmed through auction catalogs featuring multiple Barnum works.
It fits squarely into his core style:
Civil War–era subject matter
Emotional, narrative-driven scene
Focus on aftermath rather than action
What the sculpture typically depicts
While exact compositions can vary slightly, “Nothing Left” is understood by collectors as:
A post-battle or aftermath scene
A soldier (often Confederate-themed in Barnum’s series) in a moment of loss, exhaustion, or reflection
Emphasis on:
Defeat / devastation
The human cost of war
Quiet, somber storytelling rather than combat
It’s one of Barnum’s more emotionally heavy titles, similar in tone to pieces like “What Must Be Done.”
What “The Cavalier” statue is
A limited-edition pewter sculpture produced in the 1990s (commonly by Chilmark).
Depicts a mounted Civil War cavalry officer—well-groomed, bearded, and posed in a composed, almost aristocratic style.
The title “Cavalier” reflects the romanticized image of a gentleman soldier (historically, “cavalier” means a horseman or aristocratic fighter).
