Wedding Dress

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a female figure standing with a graceful posture. She is dressed in a voluminous gown with intricate details like a fitted bodice, gathered sleeves, and decorative lace or embroidered patterns along the hem. The hands are positioned delicately. The sculpture is monochromatic, appearing in shades of gray. It is likely made of a material that mimics fabric, possibly plaster or a similar medium that captures detailed textures. The figure's hair is styled in curls, adorned with a floral headpiece. The sculpture stands at a lifelike scale.
