Benjamin Harrison, Bronze presidential sculpture in University Park, Indianapolis, United States.

The bronze statue stands before a Greek-style chair, depicting Benjamin Harrison in an open overcoat with one hand raised and another holding gloves.

The statue was dedicated on October 27, 1908, created by Charles Henry Niehaus and partially funded through a benefit at the English Opera House in 1902.

The sculpture represents Indiana's connection to presidential history, as Benjamin Harrison remains the only United States president from the state of Indiana.

The monument measures 1.3 meters in height, 0.47 meters in width, and 0.55 meters in depth, mounted on an oval limestone base with an eagle relief.

Niehaus chose a standing pose for the statue instead of a seated position to address considerations about Harrison's below-average physical stature.
