A bronze sculpture titled 'Promise of the Prairie' by sculptor George W. Lundeen, an American artist known for his statues depicting topics of American history, westward expansion, and American culture and family life. The design of this statue, which was commissioned to celebrate the centennial anniversary of Lundeen's own hometown of Holdredge, Nebraska, depicts a pioneer couple and their young son gazing confidently into the future.
This piece puts Lundeen's exceptional skill as a sculptor on full display; the detail put into the figures' faces lends the scene a sense of reality and intimacy, and the movement of the woman's hair and dress captures the image of a gentle wind blowing across the prairie.
Made of solid bronze, the sculpture bears the artist's signature and stands mounted on a wooden base. This base has a brass plaque that bears the title of the sculpture and commemorates the Holdredge centennial. [
