Here’s a few more views of this sculpture and also check out Jonathan’s Port Huron, MI set (slideshow).

The sculptures are located at McMorran Place in Port Huron where they explain that noted sculptor Marshall Fredericks:

…designed these over-life sized figures for the NIGHT AND DAY FOUNTAIN outside of the McMorran Auditorium in Port Huron. The fountain is beneath the 22 ft. diameter sculptural clock, which was also designed by Fredericks. He chose time as the theme of the auditoriums exterior ornamentation because the donors of the building put great value in punctuality. In keeping with the long tradition on western art, the sculptor personified time with figures representing night and day.
