The Angel of the Waters (B&W) Portrait, Bethesda Fountain in New York's Central Park

Details best viewed in Original Size

According to Wikipedia, The Angel of the Waters statue refers to the Gospel of John, Chapter 5 where there is a description of an angel blessing the Pool of Bethesda, giving it healing powers. In Central Park the referent is the Croton Aqueduct opened in 1842, providing the city for the first time with a dependable supply of pure water: thus the angel carries a lily in one hand, representing purity, and with the other hand she blesses the water below.
This image is an extreme B&W close-up of the fountain and statue visible in comment one.
