Gura's stance is almost certainly a reference to the statue of the defiant girl in that same plaza in downtown Manhattan. That statue is just a few feet in front of the bull statue.

There's also a bear statue in that plaza.

The bear and bull represent the growing (bull) or decreasing (bear) of the Wall St. Stock market. The "defiant girl" is nothing more than a political statement put there decades later.
