William Henry Harrison Monument
1892 / Louis T. Rebisso / Cincinnati
Portrait of William Henry Harrison dressed in military uniform and mounted on his horse. The horse is stepping forward and Harrison holds the reins. The horse's single raised leg indicates that its rider was wounded but not killed in battle.
The sculptor's signature can be found on the proper right side of the work, and the foundry's mark can be found on the proper left side.
The work was relocated from the east of the park to the west end during park renovations in 1988.
