Bust of William Thompson Walters

Rinehart, the son of a Carroll County farmer, enrolled at the Maryland Institute in Baltimore. Later, he found employment at a local marble yard carving fireplace mantles. In 1855, Rinehart visited Italy for the first time but returned briefly to Baltimore to open a studio. However, with the financial backing of his life-long friend and patron William T. Walters, he returned to Italy and opened his permanent studio in Rome.
