Civil War Monument with Sky Background
"Figure of a Civil War soldier standing at parade rest. He wears a uniform consisting of a long coat, a cape buttoned at the top and a cap. The mustached figure holds the barrel of a rifle with both hands. The butt of the gun rests in front of his proper right foot. His proper left foot is forward and bent at the knee. On the shaft supporting the figure, there are two areas of inscriptions and garlands on each side. The lower portion has shield-like shapes containing images of crossed-swords, a flag, an eagle, and others. The figure and shaft rest on a platform with three steps." ~ Smithsonian American Art Museum
