Winged Victory Figure, from the Cornice of the Title Guarantee Building 1898

This bronze sculpture, created by architects Eames and Young in 1898, is a winged victory figure that originally adorned the cornice of the Title Guarantee Building. The sculpture is a striking example of the Beaux-Arts style, a popular architectural movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The figure's wings, flowing drapery, and classical features are characteristic of the style, which drew inspiration from ancient Roman and Greek art. Today, the sculpture is a valuable artifact of Chicago's architectural history and is on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.
