Sculptor, American, 1835 - 1910

The sculpture shows a standing nude female figure with a serene expression on her face. She is slightly tilted to one side, holding a small cup or chalice in her right hand at shoulder height. Her left arm is extended downwards, with fingers slightly parted. Her hair is styled back neatly. The sculpture is made of white marble, giving it a smooth appearance. The figure stands barefoot on a round base, with a draped element or support at her lower right side and back to balance the figure. The sculpture has realistic proportions and details, emphasizing natural curves and musculature of the human body.
