A Woman

Italian 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief depiction of a female figure. The subject has long, wavy hair, and is wearing a draped garment that covers her shoulders and falls over her chest. In her right hand, she holds a portion of the fabric. The sculpture is rendered in a warm, earthy brown color. The circular shape of the piece frames the figure's upper body, focusing on her facial expression and hair. The surface of the sculpture shows wear and patina, with faint engravings or marks visible.
