An elongated, abstracted nude woman stands with her arms pressed to her sides on oversized feet on a blocky plinth in this free-standing bronze sculpture. The woman is unnaturally thin and has shoulder-length hair and low-set breasts. The rough, knubby surface of the bronze is gold colored. In this photograph, the woman is angled to our right, and she is shown against a charcoal-gray background.
