Typical of Gerhard's early bronzes, while stylistically ambitious, the bronze is thickly cast, much flawed and repaired, and heavily worked up, with a patchy and uncertain gilding. The function of the bronze is thought to be secular, possibly representing Architecture in a series of figures representing the Arts.
