Created while Chester Beach was living in Rome, Dawn features a nude man on horseback against a background of human forms emerging from a cloud of rolling mist. Although carved in the round from a block of marble, the sculpture has one primary view. Chester Beach traded two of his sculptures to a farmer in Brewster, NY, obtaining land where he built his studio and a summer home.
