The building on Sauchiehall Street which Harmony is on was owned by Ewing's brother, which may explain why such an impressiive sculpture is on what might be considered quite a minor building.

This winged figure high on a building above Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow is called Harmony. It was created by James Alexander Ewing in the 1890s.

If you think you've seen a similar figure elsewhere in the city, you're right, Ewing also sculpted the Spirit of Commerce and Industry, also known as the Angel of the South, at Paisley Road Toll.
