Description

A tall figure stands on a wide, flared base, its narrow body widening to broad shoulders. The head wears a tall pointed cap and has a long straight nose, a projecting chin and a small mouth. The arms are held slightly away from the body with hands hanging down, and the smooth surface shows small marks; it is photographed in three-quarter view against a plain grey backdrop.
