A 1953 statue of George S. Patton by James Earle Fraser (sometimes called General George Smith Patton, Jr.) is installed along Boston's Charles River Esplanade, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts.
The bronze sculpture measures approximately 8 x 3 x 3 ft., and rests on a pink granite base that measures approximately 4 x 10 x 7 ft. It commemorates the general's June 7, 1945 address delivered from the Hatch Memorial Shell before a crowd of 20,000.[1]
The work was surveyed as part of the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1997.[2]
