Four Continents (French)
Four Continents is the collective name of four sculptures by Daniel Chester French, installed outside the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House at Bowling Green in Manhattan, New York City. French performed the commissions with associate Adolph A. Weinman.
The work was made of marble and sculpted by the Piccirilli Brothers, with each sculptural group costing $13,500 (equivalent to $470,000 in 2024). The sculptures were first shown to the public in 1905. From east to west, the statues depict larger-than-life-size personifications of Asia, America, Europe, and Africa. The primary figures are female, but there are also auxiliary human figures flanking each primary figure. In addition, Asia's figure is paired with a tiger, and Africa's figure is paired with a lion.
