Liberty and the Eagle Sculpture
Liberty and the Eagle Sculpture is located between in National Statuary Hall (old Hall of the House). Made between 1817 and 1819, this group originally stood above the Speaker’s desk when the House of Representatives met in this space.
In the niche above the entablature on the south wall of National Statuary Hall stands the heroic-sized figure of Liberty.
•Artist: Enrico Causici
•Material: Plaster
•Dimensions: 13'7"
•Date: 1817-1819
•Location: National Statuary Hall, U.S. Capitol
Placed there between 1817-1819 when the U.S. Capitol was rebuilt after the fire of 1814, she originally looked down on the House of Representatives which met in the hall during that time.
An American eagle stands to Liberty’s right, and the scroll in her right hand is the Constitution of the United States. To her left, a serpent, the symbol of wisdom, is entwined around a section of a column.
At a lower level and separated from the bench by a wooden balustrade is the area that was reserved for attorneys presenting cases before the Court.
Marble busts of the earliest chief justices have been returned to their original locations in the room. In order of service, those represented are: John Jay (1789-1795), John Rutledge (1795), Oliver Ellsworth (1796-1800), and John Marshall (1801-1835).
