The caryatids are a series of eight white marble sculptures of women that hold up porch roofs on the exterior of the museum like columns. Each woman is draped in a heavily pleated robe resembling the costumes of ancient Greece and carries a different object symbolizing a different discipline. For instance, one woman holds a painters palette and brushes, symbolizing painting, while her neighbor bears a small model of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, symbolizing sculpture. — Augustus Saint-Gaudens

Eight Caryatid Figures , 1906-1907
