The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).

*If you're interested in the story behind the statue, you can reference... V-J Day in Times Square. You will get a very informative Wikipedia site. The only area that isn't covered is the recent "injury" and repair to the statue. That is under "Unconditional Surrender", and choose the Wiki site.*

Lee's Surrender overshot blanket, ready to weave. This felt good!
I assume that this weaving pattern came from sometime around the Civil War, given the name. I can't wait to actually have it finished!
It was agreed that if my 4-H Cloverbuds could reach a goal set for them this year they could throw a pie in my face at our last meeting. They surpassed the goal 5 times over. I was in for it! Thankfully, I only agreed to one pie. It was actually pretty fun and they practically licked me clean.
