Young Mother with Child by Furio Piccirilli. 8. Idyl by Olga Popoff Muller. 13. An Outcast by Attilio Piccirilli. 14. Before the doorway is to be placed The Pioneer Mother Monument by Charles Grafly.

The Pioneer Mother Exhibit, Fine Arts Colonnade The "Pioneer Mother" monument, by Charles Grafly, is a permanent bronze, a tribute by the people of the West to the women who laid the foundation of their welfare.
Polasek's work has the same unassailable rigor of truth as that of Charles Grafly, who was his teacher. "The Sower" ennobles an humble theme. It has sweep and life and distinction of bearing. In "The Girl of the Roman Compagna," close at hand in this Colonnade, the sculptor shows his equal power in a softer theme.
