Eugène Atget

Artist, French, 1857 - 1927

The image shows a sculpture of a figure in robes on an ornate pedestal. The figure is standing upright with hands delicately positioned. The sculpture appears to be made of light-colored stone, possibly marble or limestone. It is located outdoors near leafless tree branches. In the background, there is a large, ornate building with multiple windows. The scale of the sculpture and pedestal makes it appear tall compared to the trees and the viewer's point of view.
