Description

A pale marble sculpture of a young figure lies on its side, legs drawn up, one arm bent beneath the curly-haired head, eyes closed. The figure rests on a rounded base with carved drapery folds and rough edges. A measuring scale with a number label lies in front of it on a plain, pale surface.
