An Idaho artist with four sculptures on display in the U.S. Capitol’s National Statuary Hall has been selected to create a statue of Jimmy Buffett for display near Mobile’s riverfront.

Ben Victor, a nationally-renowned sculptor , will construct a 7.5-foot-tall likeness of Buffett on behalf of the city of Mobile, the National Maritime Museum of the Gulf and Buffett’s family, according to a Thursday statement from the city. It is not clear how much the sculpture will cost.
