Young Woman

Chinese Qing Dynasty

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing woman in a green robe with floral decorations in red, yellow, and blue. Below the green robe, a similarly patterned yellow garment peaks out by her feet and wrists. One of her hands is visible, raised near her chest. Her face is turned slightly towards the right, and her expression is calm, with high eyebrows and a slightly upturned mouth. Her glossy black hair is styled above her head in a flat bun with a band of beads around it. The sculpture has a smooth, glossy finish.
