Two Standing Women
Two standing women, sculpted from light brown stone, stand side by side on a small oval base. The woman on the left wears a long dress with folds carved into the fabric, her hair styled in an updo, and her hands clasped together in front of her. The woman on the right wears a shorter dress that exposes her chest, her hair also styled in an updo. Her right arm is wrapped around the other woman, and her left hand holds fabric from her dress. Both women have similar facial features and are positioned closely together, with their faces near each other. The background is a gradient of dark brown to light brown.
