The bronze statue by Jose de Creeft stands eleven feet high and portrays Alice surrounded by the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat and other characters from Lewis Carroll's 1865 book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland enjoying a tea party.
[1] The statue was created in 1959 by José de Creeft under the commission of George Delacorte, so children could experience Alice in Wonderland in person.
The sculpture was originally cast at the Long Island Modern Art Foundry in the Steinway Mansion.
The statue is made of bronze and was derived from images John Tenniel created for the original publication.
Additionally, there are six plaques located around the base of the sculpture that depict her favorite moments from Alice in Wonderland.
