Two Female Figures from the Villa Medici

Jacques-Louis David

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two sculptures of classical figures draped in flowing garments. One sculpture, on the left, portrays a woman in a detailed gown on a pedestal. The other sculpture, on the right, depicts a figure, potentially male, in draped attire, holding an object in the left hand and extending the right arm slightly outwards. Both sculptures are monochrome and mounted on round pedestals, set in a classical environment. The sculptures showcase intricate details like fabric folds and facial features.
