Chloris Caressed by Zephyr

Jean-Jacques Pradier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a female figure standing with her head tilted slightly to her left side. She is adorned with a draped garment that covers part of her body, with intricate detailing of folds and floral patterns. The material of the sculpture appears to be stone or marble, exhibiting a natural, muted color with patches of darker and lighter shades. The figure stands on a circular base and gazes softly ahead, her features finely carved. The overall presentation of the sculpture is elegant and finely proportioned in relation to human form, with a height that gives it presence.
