I still have photographs from Philadelphia, but I also have photographs taken since then, and I went to another art museum yesterday. Anyhow, when you park at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, you enter the building from the rear. And that means this is the first sculpture you see. It is a bronze sculpture of Chief Justice John Marshall by American sculptor William Wetmore Story, installed in 1931. It is a stunning sculpture, and it has a wonderful presence. I think I mean that it draws you in immediately. It had snowed on that morning, and I like the highlights on the statue from the snow.
