Adalbert Volck self-portrait
During and after the Civil War, Volck continued to earn his livelihood from his dental practice in Baltimore, where he was well-known in the city's social circles. He never lost his interest in the arts or the southern cause. Like his younger brother, Frederick, he turned to sculpting, working in woods and metals. A silver relief he made and dedicated to the "Brave Women of the South" was presented to Richmond's Museum of the Confederacy in 1909. The National Portrait Gallery acquired this tin relief self-portrait in 1972.
