An equestrian statue of Simón Bolívar by the American artist Felix de Weldon is located in Washington, D.C., at Virginia Avenue NW, 18th Street NW, and C Street NW, near the United States Department of Interior and the Pan American Union Building of the Organization of American States. The monument is an equestrian statue of the Venezuelan military and political leader Simón Bolívar. It was surveyed as part of the Smithsonian Institution's Save Outdoor Sculpture! survey in 1993.
The statue shows Bolívar riding his horse with his proper right arm raised over his head. In that hand he wields his sword, holding it upwards. He wears a military uniform with great detail, including the gold medal that was once George Washington's. The sculpture sits on a base made of granite or marble .
