"The Rhine" Figurehead

Rosamond P. Gray

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a bust of a woman with a slightly forward posture. She has short, curly hair and wears an outfit with a blouse with puffed sleeves and a dress featuring intricate patterns. Her hand is raised to her chest, while the other hand holds what seems to be a bag or a similar object by her side. The sculpture is made from a beige, sandstone-like material. The sculpture is presented at a slightly downward angle.
