Dorothy Harris

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two large, intricately painted ceramic sculptures of animals on rectangular bases. The sculptures are predominantly gray with intricate detailing, accentuated by darker shades. Both animal figures face forward, with one on the left and the other on the right. They sit atop bases with a muted, earthy tone. The sculptures are central against a plain, beige background, with the name "ZIEGEM, HAMEL" near the right sculpture.
