This William Tecumseh Sherman statue located in Grand Army Plaza in New York City, NY is considered to be one of the finest works by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The General, preceded by Winged Victory (or Nike) on foot, sits on his horse, the reins in one hand, his hat in the other and his cape flutters behind. Victory strides ahead holding a palm branch in her hand and wears a billowing Greek peplos.
