Victoria Sackville-West, Lady Sackville

Auguste Rodin

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bust of a person looking slightly upwards with a pensive expression. The subject wears a garment with a scarf wrapped around the neck, draping over the shoulders. The sculpture is made of a material resembling plaster, giving it a light grey appearance. The hair is textured with wavy curls, and the sculpture has a rough, unfinished texture. It is at eye level and appears to be life-sized, capturing a moment of contemplation or restfulness.
