The sculptor was a powerful and commanding figure. For his self-portrait he modeled his massive head in large, solid forms. His innate energy is conveyed through the turn of the head, a device not typical of Davidson’s portraits.
The National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., owns a cast of this self-portrait, as does the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (also possibly posthumous).
