(18th and 19th Centuries )
This piece is a reduction of the bronze relief commissioned by the Municipal Art Society in 1931.
Schuler, a native of Lorraine (in present-day France), was raised in Baltimore and attended the School of Art and Design at the Maryland Institute.

After receiving awards at the Paris Salon, Schuler returned to Baltimore, where he pursued a highly successful career as the city's leading sculptor.
