Seated Figure

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture "Seated Figure" by Alberto Giacometti depicts a dark-colored, abstract figure with a rough texture. The figure has a large head with a small mouth and no discernible eyes or nose. It has a thin, elongated body with prominent breasts and no arms or hands visible, but rather two bulbous protrusions on either side of the body near the waist. The figure sits on a base formed by two short, thick legs. The background of the image fades from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom.
