National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts three intertwined human figures in a moment of intense action. The central figure is a muscular male with large feathered wings, lifting a partially draped female figure and reaching upwards. Below them, another male figure is depicted in a struggling pose. The sculpture is crafted from marble and shows detailed anatomical features, capturing movement and interaction. It is set against an outdoor backdrop with classical architectural elements visible.
