"The Discovery of America," a marble sculptural group created by Italian sculptor Luigi Persico. This artwork was installed in 1844 on the east fa��ade of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., and remained there until 1958. ���Wikipedia
The sculpture depicts Christopher Columbus holding a globe in his left hand, symbolizing his exploration and the discovery of the New World. Beside him stands a Native American woman, representing the indigenous peoples of the Americas. This composition was intended to portray the encounter between European explorers and the native inhabitants of the continent. ���Wikipedia
In 1958, during renovations to the Capitol's east front, "The Discovery of America" was removed and placed into storage, where it remains today. The removal was part of a broader effort to update and expand the Capitol building.
