Ranka S. Woods

National Gallery of Art

The image is an illustration showing two stylized figures standing from head to toe. The central figure is holding a smaller figure. The larger person has facial features with a gentle smile, long hair, a crown, and regal clothing. She holds a circular object and wears a distinctive crown with points. The smaller figure wears a crown and a similarly styled robe, touching the larger person's shoulder. They both have serene expressions. The background is a muted brown with floral and abstract motifs.
