Looking northwest at the side of the statue "Aspiration and Literature", one of two statues that make up the work "The Arts of Peace". "The Arts of Peace" are statues which adorn either side of the southern entrance of the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway in Washington, D.C., in the United States. They were designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, and erected in 1951. The mythological winged horse Pegasus is the centerpiece of the statue. On Pegasus' right is a naked young man with a toga draped over his shoulder and holding a book in his trailing arm, symbolic of literature.
