This is one figure in a pair of bronze statuettes by Adolph A. Weinman, also referred to as Adolph Alexander Weinman, with a moss green patina. "Descending Night" is the female of the pair, with curved wings and a bowed head paired with a physical pose indicative of an angel landing on the earth. The original, much larger, figures were featured in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915. Four bronze pairs of Descending Night and Rising Day were cast from the working models for the larger statues, and the pair present in the White House Collection are from an undetermined number of reductions cast by Roman Bronze works. Weinman worked in a neoclassical style, and is most well-known for designing the "Mercury dime" and the "Walking Liberty half-dollar" although he identified himself primarily as an architectural sculptor.
