This black-and-white photo shows two stone statues in a dim, wooded setting. The figure on the left stands tall, draped in a flowing robe that clings to its body. Its arms rest at its sides, and its head is bowed slightly. To the right, another figure kneels, its body twisted in pain, hands pressed to its face as if in grief. Notice how the fabric folds look almost real, like wet cloth. The shadows deepen the mood, making the scene feel quiet and heavy. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this work in person.
