Remarks:
This sculpture was commissioned as part of the Hot Springs National Park's first major landscaping project. Captain Robert R. Stevens, United States Army, supervised the landscaping project, and it is suspected that he may have designed the fountain portion of this piece. Stevens commissioned Edward Kemeys to design the sculpture which tops the fountain.
