This painting captures the intricate sculpture from the pediment of the historic Bowery Savings Bank Building at 130 Bowery. This artwork is part of a twin set that focuses on the symbolic figures flanking a central clock, each accompanied by a lion, representing the timeless themes of time and industry. The Bowery Savings Bank Building, designed by Stanford White of McKim, Mead & White, is a landmark example of neoclassical architecture. Its facade is adorned with Corinthian columns and sculpted pediments by Frederic MacMonnies, evoking the authority of ancient Rome. This artwork is a compelling addition to any collection, offering a beautiful interpretation of a New York City landmark. Its blend of architectural significance and artistic style makes it a standout piece for those who appreciate both history and beauty. This particular painting vividly portrays the male figure, symbolizing industry, in a dynamic pose as he tames a lion.
