Fisherman's Daughter is a sculpture in Tacoma, Washington's Wright Park, in the United States.
Description
Fisherman's Daughter (also known as The Lady of the Lake)[1] is a statue of a woman in Tacoma's Wright Park Arboretum. The sculpture is installed on an island within the park.[2] [3]
History
Local businessman Clinton P. Ferry acquired the statue in Genoa, Italy,[4] in 1891, during the park's development.[5]
The sculpture was restored by artist Lynn Di Nino, in order to repair damage caused by vandalism. According to the Tacoma Daily Index, "She fashioned the lips and nose of the ... statue in the likeness of those of the maiden statues located at the Division street entry."[6] The base was replaced in 2013.
