Description

A tall standing figure is photographed in three-quarter side view against a plain grey backdrop. It wears a flat, brimmed cap and a cape-like garment over the shoulders that falls to a long, straight body narrowing toward a flat base. The arms hang at its sides with the hands shown, and the smooth, greyish surface has a crack at the collar.
