Polly Duncan

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing human figure with long hair tied back, wearing a long garment. The upper part is dark, contrasting with a vibrant red skirt that extends to the base. Around the neck, there is a garland composed of pale-colored flowers or leaves. The sculpture appears to be painted, enhancing its hues of red, dark gray, green, and brown. The figure stands on a rectangular base with a textured surface. The posture is static, with arms gently bent and hands facing downwards.
