Washington, DC: Part III, The National Mall and the Smithsonian Museums | Eastern North Carolina Now


I cannot locate the name of this work of art; however, I like this piece. If anyone has knowledge of it, I would appreciate a hand on this. This one I do know, however. The Washington Family, 1789-1796, by Edward Savage, also in the American Artist Galleries: Below.     photos by Stan Deatherage

The National Sculpture Garden, even on an dark and overcast day, offers the perfect platform for this Greek Revival ocular feast: Above. At the end of the day, on a more lovely, we have a chance to take a good look at the Capitol in the golden glow of a dying day. Notice the reflecting pool, with the life-size bronze statue of Ulysses S. Grant in the foreground of the Capitol: Below.     photos by Stan Deatherage

A closer look from underneath the statue of General Grant: Above. The setting sun in the West, the darkening Washington Monument: Below.     photos by Stan Deatherage
