Nuestra Senora

Polly Duncan

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture portrays a woman with short hair holding a smaller figure, possibly a child, in her left arm. The woman is depicted in a colorful dress with vibrant sections of red, blue, green, and yellow, adorned with floral and abstract patterns. The base of the sculpture is a flat, rectangular platform with a brown marbled appearance. The material of the sculpture appears to be painted ceramic, giving a smooth, glossy finish to the surface. The full, frontal view provides a detailed look at the facial expressions of the figures and the intricate designs on the attire.
