National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a figure of a woman in classical attire, holding a flagpole with both hands while extending her right arm outward. The flag attached to the pole waves to the left side of the image, and it features a pattern of stars in its upper section. The sculpture is presented in shades of gold and brown. The female figure is dressed in a long, flowing gown, with the drapery detailed to show movement and texture. She stands on a rectangular base that grounds the sculpture, and her head is turned slightly to the left, following the direction of the extended arm.
