Figure from Peterborough Cathedral

William Fairland after John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright in a frontal pose. The individual faces forward with a serene expression and a slightly tilted head. They have a veil covering their head and are wearing long, textured robes that fall to the ground. The person's right hand is raised in a gesture, while their left hand rests by their side. The background is a plain, shaded area that contrasts with the figure.
