Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman with her hands clasped in front of her chest. She has a calm expression, detailed features, and is made of wood with paint chipping and wear. The color palette includes black, gray, reddish-brown, and white. She wears a long garment or cloak that drapes to her feet, with darker and lighter sections creating a vintage appearance.
