Figurehead from "Union"

Frances Cohen

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a female figure standing in a forward-facing pose with her head turned slightly to the right. She is wearing a layered dress with delicate folds, and tones of red add depth and movement to the piece. The woman has long hair styled back and stands on an intricately carved base extending downward in a reddish-brown color.
