The mural by renowned California artist Millard Sheets used to hang in the motor court of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, according to the city. It is approximately 15 feet by 31 feet and depicts an early California scene of people and horses in a forest setting.
The piece was removed from the hotel in 1987 and presented to the city as a gift, but it has been in storage until now.
