The Statue of the Republic in Chicago, IL is a gilded bronze sculpture installed in 1918 to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the World's Columbian Exposition in Jackson Park and the centennial of statehood for Illinois. It is a smaller version of Daniel Chester French's original sixty-five-foot-tall Statue of the Republic, which was one of the most iconic features of the 1893 exposition.
The twenty-four-foot-tall statue stands on a ten-foot-high base and is known as the Golden Lady. It is located within Jackson Andrew Park and is owned by the Chicago Park District. The sculpture was re-gilded and rededicated in 1993 in tribute to the centennial of the World's Columbian Exposition.
