How does this artwork elucidate its Description?
Daniel Chester French’s sculpture is a memorial cast in honor of Timothy Appleton Chapman. Chapman was a pioneer dry goods merchant.  The bronze statue stands tall but the angel figure is close to human proportions. It is her base that makes her seem larger than life. The statue is quite weathered. The angel has a neutral face. The figure holds a dish to symbolize the pouring of the water of life into the ground. The front of the base simply says CHAPMAN. The back of the statue says that the New York–based company Henry Bonnard Bronze cast the sculpture in 1896.
