Artist, American, c. 1908 - 1993

The sculpture depicts a figure of a woman in a dynamic pose, seemingly leaning forward with her head slightly raised. She is adorned in a flowing dress that gathers and folds intricately around her body. The material of the sculpture appears to be a light beige or terracotta-colored stone. The figure is shown in profile, facing to the viewer's right, against a plain background, highlighting the details in her garment and the gentle curls of her hair. The sculpture is presented without any visible base or support.
