Standing Female Figure
c. 1925–1926

A bronze statue of a female figure with a smooth, abstract form stands on a square base. The figure is posed with arms slightly extended, one hand with fingers gently spread and the other with fingers together, conveying a sense of motion or dance. The background is a plain white wall with a gray floor.
