Circus Wagon Figure: Medieval Lady

John Matulis

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a human figure standing and draped in flowing garments, with intricate detailing on the hair and clothing. One hand is near the chest, while the other holds a draped piece of cloth or garment. It appears to be made of wood, showing visible grain and texture. The colors range from browns to hints of blue and gray. The sculpture stands on a base and shows signs of aging, such as cracks and wear. The text "Circus Wagon Figure" suggests it was part of a larger display, possibly on a circus wagon.
