"America" is a marble bust created by the American sculptor Hiram Powers after 1850. The work depicts a young woman in a simple, draped garment, wearing a crown of stars, symbolizing the United States. Powers's Neoclassical style is evident in the idealized beauty and serene expression of the subject, a popular theme in the 19th century. The bust stands on a rectangular base and is reminiscent of ancient Roman portraiture.
