Henri Béchard

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned photograph of two large stone statues. The statues are sitting and facing right. They have large heads with elongated heads with long noses and chins. Their bodies are made of large blocks of stone stacked on top of each other. The statue on the right is larger than the one on the left. The statues are sitting on rectangular stone bases. There are people standing on and around the statues and on the ground in front of them. The ground is covered in short grass and there are hills in the background. There are buildings in the distance on the right side. The sky is clear and light-colored.
