Description
This bronze sculpture depicts a falconer holding a bird aloft. Set against the New York skyline in central park, the sun shines like a beacon on the edge of a skyscraper, This late fall scene also has silhouettes of bare trees. Shrubs in the foreground glow with the last of autumn leaves. The statue, sculpted by George Blackwell Simonds, was cast at an Italian foundry and dedicated in 1875. It is located near West 72nd Street.
