Victory of Samothrace (Nike)

This depicts the Greek Goddess Nike in statuary form discovered on the Greek Isle of Samothrace.  It is an oil painting copy by Grant R. Fairbanks, M.D. of the 9-foot-tall marble headless statue that stands at the top of the stairway in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.  In the oil painting copy, the artist has taken the liberty of adding a head to the statue.
