Located on the grounds of the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City, Missouri, The Signing of the Treaty sculpture depicts the historic event that led to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Created by artists Karl Bitter and Adolph A. Weinman, the bronze sculpture showcases James Monroe, Robert Livingston, and Barb Marbois signing the treaty, capturing a significant moment in American history.
Originally made of plaster and fibrous material for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, the sculpture was later cast in bronze. With its high relief design and detailed craftsmanship, The Signing of the Treaty sculpture stands as a testament to the importance of the Louisiana Purchase and its impact on the United States.
