The Angel of the Waters by Emma Stebbins (1815-1882) was erected as a memorial to the construction of the Croton Aqueduct in New York's Central Park. The bronze statue stands over the upper bowl of the Bethesda Fountain on the street that crosses the park at 72nd Street at the end of the mall, Terrace Drive. It has a height of about 2.6 meters. Stebbins began work on the statue in Rome in 1861 (at the start of the American Civil War). The sculpture was completed in 1868 and inaugurated in 1873. The assignment to her as a woman was a novelty at the time. It was built over the Calvert Vaux basin.
