Label TextKeck's original diploma work was a plaster figure, Victory, which was accepted by the Academy in 1929. It was evidently a study or model for an element of Keck's Montclair War Memorial (1925, Montclair, New Jersey). The sculptor won a Gold Medal from the Architectural League of New York for Victory and a version of it was exhibited at the Academy's Centennial Exhibition in 1925.
By 1943, however, the Academy's plaster had been badly damaged and Keck generously presented this equestrian bronze of the Confederate Civil War hero Stonewall Jackson to replace it. It is a small version of the life-size equestrian monument to Jackson which Keck created in 1921 for the city of Charlottesville, Virginia.
