This photo shows two broken statues of women. They’re missing heads and arms. The fabric they wear is carved in thick, wavy lines. One woman sits with her legs tucked under her, the other leans forward with a child on her lap. The photo was taken in 1860. These statues were likely made to look like ancient Greek or Roman work. The artist tried to copy old styles but used modern tools. Check out Caldesi, Leonida for more about the artist who took this photo.
