caption_attribution_description: A kneeling winged-male "Angel of Mercy" administers to a reclining suffering male. The Angel holds a bowl in his proper left hand; and reaches out with his proper right arm to the man reclining in front of him. The reclining male's legs are crossed at the ankle. He is partially propped up with his elbows and his head rests on a roll. Supporting the work is a four-tiered, 30 inch high granite base with the inscription: VISION COURAGE FAITH on the top step.
