The Washington Monument is a public artwork by American artist Richard Henry Park located on the Court of Honor in front of the Milwaukee Public Library Central Library, which is near Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The bronze sculpture is a full-length portrait of a 43-year-old George Washington, and stands on a granite pedestal; a bronze woman points up at Washington while a child, also made out of bronze, gazes upward.[1] It was sculpted by Richard Henry Park and was erected in 1885[2] with philanthropic financial support from Elizabeth Plankinton. The statue was restored between July 2016[3][4] and January 2018.[5][6]
