This is one of eight known reductions of the figure "Victory" from Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ monumental equestrian statue of Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman, situated in Grand Army Plaza at Fifty-ninth Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City. Kenyon Cox said about the Victory Sculpture that: “Before the horse and rider, half walks, half flies, a splendid winged figure, one arm outstretched, the other brandishing the palm Victory leading them on. She has a certain fierce wildness of aspect, but her rapt gaze and half-open mouth indicate the seer of visions peace is ahead and an end of war.” I found this amazing angel statue at the Toledo Museum of Art.
