Description and history

Leo Friedlander's Covered Wagon (1934) is a high relief carving depicting a pioneer family in front of a covered wagon, located outside the Oregon State Capitol's main entrance.[1][2] The figure group includes a father, mother and young boy, plus a horse. The father faces westward with his proper right hand shielding his eyes from the sun, while the mother is shown kneeling and facing forward. The white marble sculpture, carved from a block made of six smaller pieces, measures approximately Шаблон:Convert x Шаблон:Convert x Шаблон:Convert and rests on a granite base that measures approximately Шаблон:Convert x Шаблон:Convert x Шаблон:Convert.[1] On the back is a map illustrating the area covered by the Oregon Trail and depictions of pioneer life. The installation also includes a signed inscription that reads: Шаблон:Small.[1]

The sculpture was surveyed and considered "treatment needed" by the Smithsonian's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in August 1993, and was administered by the Facilities Division of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services at that time.[1]
