A Lady

Joseph Chinard

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bust of a woman, capturing her from the chest up. The woman has an intricately detailed hairstyle, with her hair pulled back and curls framing her face. The bust features an off-the-shoulder fabric garment that drapes across her shoulders, fastened with a button on each shoulder. The material of the sculpture appears to be a brown-toned bronze or terracotta with a textured finish. The sculpture rests on a square base with an inscription at the front. The woman's expression is calm and serene, and her gaze is slightly directed to her right.
