Cigar Store Figure

Elizabeth Johnson

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman in a historical-style green dress with ruffles and a high neckline. She is posed dynamically, with one arm extended sideways and holding a small object. She wears a grey hat, and her hair is braided and styled to fall over her shoulders. The sculpture stands on a three-tiered pedestal made of a dark-colored material. The woman is posed slightly forward, with details capturing a lifelike expression and posture relative to a typical human figure's scale.
