Jeanne Patricia Rynhart (née Scuffil; 17 March 1946 – 9 June 2020) was an Irish sculptor best known for her distinctive public bronze sculptures. She graduated from the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and spent some time working in England before returning to Ireland in 1981 to establish Rynhart Fine Art Bronze near Bantry, County Cork, with her husband Derek. Her most iconic work is the Molly Malone statue (1988) in Dublin. She also created the Annie Moore statues in Cobh and on Ellis Island, and a memorial to Mary O’Connor in Tralee. Her body of work includes busts of notable Irish literary figures such as Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, and James Joyce. See less
