Figurehead

Elizabeth Moutal

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a female figure with intricate detailing and elegance, portrayed in a classical style with long hair and a flowing garment. The color palette includes natural beige tones for the skin, rich red for the garment, and decorative elements in shades of gold and dark purple. The material appears to be painted wood, giving it a textured appearance. The figure's pose is dynamic, with one arm raised. The sculpture is adorned with ornate scroll-like patterns at the base.
