Thomas Eakins

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a seated woman looking down at an object in her right hand. She sits on a chair with detailed carvings on its legs, wearing a flowing garment. Her hair falls onto her shoulders. The sculpture has a stone-like texture and a muted earth tone. It is set within a circular relief, with a smooth round area on the left side.
