Winged Victory

Antonio Canova, after the Antique

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a winged female figure in an upright dancing pose, with her arms raised and bent above her head. Her large wings extend behind her. The woman is dressed in a flowing garment that billows back behind her. She is balanced on one foot atop a golden sphere that rests on a cylindrical pedestal. The sculpture is made of a dark-colored material with a polished and reflective surface.
