Standing Girl

Tanagra 3rd Century B.C.

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing female figure draped in a flowing garment. Her head is slightly tilted down, with hair styled in waves or curls. The material of the sculpture appears to be a type of terracotta, marked by its earthy brown and faded white hue throughout. The texture of the sculpture suggests age, with areas that appear worn or eroded. It is a small-scale figure relative to humans, and it is presented on a base that supports its upright stance.
