This photograph depicts a statue of a winged woman riding a chariot pulled by four horses. The woman is dressed in a flowing robe and has her right arm raised, while her left arm holds the reins of the horses. The horses are arranged in a circular formation, with two facing forward and two facing backward. The statue is set against a cloudy sky, and the overall atmosphere is one of grandeur and majesty. The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking up at the statue, which emphasizes its size and importance. The use of black and white photography adds to the sense of timelessness and classicism. The photograph is a great example of the work of artist Evans, Clayton.
