Stern Piece: Pocahontas

Albert Ryder

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts the bust of a figure with detailed facial features and a prominent chest. The subject appears to be a human figure with styled hair framing the face on either side. It is crafted in a predominantly reddish-brown color, suggesting a uniform material used in its construction. A necklace is featured around the neck. The figure is cut off at the mid-torso level, emphasizing the head and upper body. The backdrop is plain, and the sculpture is set against a light, neutral background.
