William Tecumseh Sherman, Bronze equestrian monument at Grand Army Plaza, Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, United States
Augustus Saint-Gaudens crafted the gilded bronze sculpture showing General Sherman on horseback with a winged Victory figure leading the way.
The monument was inaugurated in 1903 as Saint-Gaudens' final major work, featuring the Union general who played a central role in the Civil War.
The sculpture incorporates symbolic elements like pine cones and palm fronds under the horse's hooves, representing Sherman's southern military campaigns.
Located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, the monument stands as a focal point of Grand Army Plaza near Central Park.
African American model Harriette Eugenia Anderson posed for the Victory figure, while Sherman's likeness came from a portrait bust created in 1888.
