Court lady

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a small, weathered stone or metal statue of a woman, titled "Court lady" by an unknown artist. The figure stands upright on a flat base. The statue appears to be made of stone or metal and has a rough texture with visible signs of wear and tear. The figure is depicted wearing what appears to be a long dress and a head covering. The face is circular with no discernible features except for the outline. The background of the image is plain and light-colored, allowing the statue to be the main focus.
