DescriptionThis is a relief of a female head, facing right. This head was to be part of the 'Le Débarquément' (The Arrival) Monument, which was an unexecuted project for a war memorial for Washington, D.C. O'Connor worked on the project from 1918 to 1931 even though he was probably never commissioned to do so. The head was to appear on the extreme left, and set apart from the foliage on a highly decorated and colossal niche in which a young woman holding a flower in her left hand is standing. A large model was created, but was subsequently destroyed.
