This sculpture is a reduction after the large-scale female Victory that is part of the Sherman Monument(1892–1903; Grand Army Plaza, New York). The famed equestrian statue, dedicated to the Civil War hero William Tecumseh Sherman (1820–1891), is one of Manhattan’s finest public sculptures. The ethereal winged figure is depicted as a guiding force, leading General Sherman in uniform astride his horse. Together they surge forward, their intent “to express victory and peace at the same time.”
