Cleveland Museum of Art

The bronze sculpture "Andante" by Mario Korbel depicts two nude female figures. The figure on the left faces right; she is viewed from the back and has her right arm extended to the right, with her palm facing downwards. Her left arm holds a piece of fabric draped over her left shoulder; the fabric hangs down behind her. The figure on the right faces left; she is viewed from the front. She has her left arm extended to the left, with her palm facing upwards, and her right arm holds a piece of fabric draped over her right shoulder; the fabric hangs down in front of her right side. The two figures' extended arms meet in the center. Both figures have their hair tied back. They stand on a rectangular bronze base with a decorative edge. The base has an engraved inscription. The sculpture has a green patina and appears to be lit from the front. The background is gray.
