Description

A hand-colored photograph features a large, light-tan sculptural group set against a dark, solid background. The central figure is a tall, winged individual with long hair, standing with arms outstretched and draped in a long robe. Two smaller figures sit at the base of this central figure: on the left, a man sits with his back to the viewer, and on the right, a woman sits facing forward with her hands resting on her lap. The entire sculpture is mounted on a heavy, rectangular stone pedestal. To the left of the photograph, a vertical grayscale step wedge and a color calibration strip are visible within the frame.
