Statuette

Yolande Delasser

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is of a woman standing on a decorative base adorned with floral and wave-like patterns. She wears a classical-style dress with intricate detailing, a cape, and a headpiece. The sculpture features detailed hair and clothing, primarily glazed in shades of blue and white. The design suggests a historical or mythological theme, with the woman in a contemplative or formal pose. The material appears to be ceramic or porcelain, typical of figurines with such glazing techniques. Her expression and stance are central, drawing focus to the ornate design elements.
