This marble statue stands in the grounds of the Uniting War Memorial Hospital, located along Birrell Street, in the eastern suburb of Waverley. It stands in the garden in front of the E. Vickery Memorial Building, which was gifted to the Methodist Church for use as a private hospital in 1919.
Patients and visitors needed to be able to walk around the hospital garden, and have some fresh air and gentle images.
