The statue was modeled by Sig. Trentanove, 
after a close study of all the material available for 
a portrait statue, and it was cast in bronze. The 
figure is twelve feet high and Webster is portrayed

panels representing some of the greatest scenes in

has been paid to the details. Congress appropriated 
$4,000 for the construction of the pedestal.
