[1] The statue portrays Kearny dressed in the uniform of a Civil War general, holding a sword in his right hand.

"[4] A bill to replace the statue in the Capitol with one of suffragist Alice Paul passed the New Jersey Senate on February 10, 2020.

"In March 1868, the New Jersey legislature approved funding for a bronze portrait of Major General Philip Kearny to be placed in Statuary Hall at the U.S. Capitol.

The petition was successful and in 1880, the statue was installed to Newark's Military Park on a Quincy granite base designed by Henry Kirke Brown and architect Paul G. Botticher to resemble an embankment in a war fortification.

In the process of restoring it a cast was taken and another version of the work was created, this one placed in Kearny, New Jersey, a town named after the general and dedicated on September 10, 1993.
