Description

A full-length statue stands on a rectangular plinth, its head with short curled hair and a plain face. A heavy mantle is wrapped over the shoulders and across the body, with one hand gripping the drapery at the chest and the other holding a fold at the hip. A long garment falls in deep folds to the feet, and a scale bar with a number label runs along the base of the photograph.
