    Sabin Howard, a classical artist, has his showroom in Kent, Conn.

The sculpture has become the centerpiece of the National World War I Memorial in Pershing Square Park, Washington, D.C.

    Howard discusses with Carol Platt Liebau how he received the commission and his process in creating, what several outlets have dubbed, a masterpiece.
