About this work

This is a carved relief sculpture in white stone. A woman leans over a body lying on a rocky surface. Her head is covered, and her hands rest on the body’s chest. The fabric of her robe flows down, making the scene feel heavy and still. The sculpture shows a moment of grief, with the woman’s posture suggesting deep sorrow. The rough texture of the rock contrasts with the smooth folds of the clothing. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
