Notes | ||
The figure stands on a circular base, its left foot supported on a curling feature symbolising air. The figure is female and the vertical supporting leg maintains the body in a diagonal posture. Her movement is suggested by drapery looping about her predominantly naked forms. Her head looks downward, whilst her hair is swept up and back. The figure's right arm, crossing the breast, restrains the drapery, which floats above her in a manner suggesting wings. | ||
