The Falconer, Bronze sculpture in Central Park, United States.
The Falconer depicts a man in Elizabethan clothing standing on a granite pedestal, holding his arm extended with a falcon ready for flight.
George Blackall Simonds created this bronze artwork in Florence during 1871, and Irish-American businessman George Kemp donated it to Central Park in 1875.
The sculpture reflects the intersection of art and nature in Central Park, joining other hunting-themed works like Indian Hunter and Eagles and Prey.
Located near the West 72nd Street entrance of Central Park, The Falconer stands at the meeting point of Terrace Drive and another carriage path.
After the original falcon was stolen, artist Joel Rudnick created a replacement in the 1960s with a different design from the initial sculpture.
