Maternity Figure

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a small, gray stone statue of a woman by the artist "Maternity Figure". The statue depicts a woman sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed and a calm expression on her face. She has a rounded nose and a small mouth. Her hair is styled in a bun on top of her head. The woman is topless, exposing her breasts, and her arms are bent at the elbows, with her hands positioned near her body, one hand on top of the other at her abdomen. The statue appears to be made of stone or clay and has a rough texture. The background of the image is a plain light grey color.
