Vincent McPharlin

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a woman with long hair, wearing a colorful attire composed of a red dress with patterned details and a golden shawl draped over her shoulders. She is also seen with dark shoes. The sculpture accentuates the folds and drape of her clothing, suggesting a sense of fabric texture. The sculpture stands on a multi-tiered, dark gray rectangular pedestal. The woman's posture is upright and her gaze is directed forward. The entire sculpture is painted in realistic, vibrant colors.
