Senator Charles Palantine (aka Leonard Harris) & Travis Bickle (aka Robert De Niro) both stand before it in the film Taxi Driver.

Palantine facing away from it and Bickle towards it so I would say it big De Niro as your answer.
 
The monument is the Maine Monument situated in Central Park NYC.

It is a memorial to the sailors who died when the battleship USS Maine blew up while in Havana harbour Cuba in January 1898. The Maine was there on a goodwill visit after earlier tensions between the USA and the Spanish possession of Cuba. A massive explosion ripped through the ship killing 260 men of the 355 man crew.

The USA started a Court of Inquiry and rather rapidly concluded that the cause of the explosion was due to a mine placed beneath the ship and on April 21st the USA declared war on Spain.
 
Couldn't find that pic, had to watch the movie to find it.

Interesting monument though.
