Dawn is a 1931 bronze sculptural group by Helen Journeay. It depicts a nude woman in a contrapposto pose with her right elbow raised and right hand behind her head. With her left hand, she caresses the head of a fawn standing behind her. There are two versions of this work. The woman in the original
is depicted entirely nude. In the second version, she is partially covered by a diaphanous veil draped over her right shoulder and falling over her right breast and belly. A cast of the original currently stands in Hermann Park's McGovern Centennial Gardens in Houston, Texas, and a cast of the modified version can be found in Brookgreen Gardens, a sculpture garden in South Carolina.
