Mexican Girl Dying is a marble sculpture carved in 1848 by American artist Thomas Crawford. It measures 20.25inches x 54.5inches x 19.5inches and is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.[1] The woman's identity is not known, but the artist has stated that he drew influence from William H. Prescott 1843 History of the Conquest of Mexico. She bears a wound below her right breast, suggesting that she has been in battle. The cross beside her suggests martyrdom.
