Recumbent Lion (facing left)

Recumbent Lion is a partial sketch model of Paul Wayland Bartlett’s design for the Sherman Monument competition. In 1892 the federal government organized a competition to design a statue of William Tecumseh Sherman, a Union general famed for his March to the Sea. Bartlett was chosen as a finalist but did not win the commission. Recumbent Lion would have been one of four, flanking the two entrances to the monument
