About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a small sculpture. A robed figure stands on a base, one arm raised as if holding something above their head. The other arm rests at their side, and the fabric of their garment drapes in smooth folds down to their feet. The sculpture looks like it’s made of a heavy material, maybe bronze or plaster. The details in the fabric and the figure’s pose give it a sense of movement, even though it’s still. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sculptures like this one.
