This sculpture is a large reproduction of a famous photograph by Lalo Vazquez. Vazquez captured several female soldiers on a train during the Mexican Revolution. See the photo here (visit link) The sculpture is of the young woman on the far left who, while grasping handles with both hands, leans forward to anxiously see the progress of the train. See the closeup of the photo here (visit link)

The poster of this Waymark was not able to determine the artist, date or material of the sculpture. The nightclub is open air...and the statue can be seen at all times...even when the establishment is not yet open.
