Description
Photograph of a statue of Beethoven in Pershing Square, [s.d.]. Beethoven is depicted standing in a suit and long jacket with his hands folded behind his back. His feet are spread apart as he gives a stern look towards the right. A large, block pedestal stands beneath the statue with the words "Beethoven, Dedicated to William Andrews Clark Jr., Founder of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra" carved into its side. Leaves are piled at the base of the pedestal while large trees shade the grassy yard surrounding it. Tall buildings stand along the busy street in the background. Photo sleeve reads "See 36410".
