Another Museum post

I observed a sculpture called Giovane Mora con fancivvole e un cane. Here is a woman kneeling down on one knee. Her right knee is on the ground, while her left leg is raised upwards. She is slouching down and her head is tilted to the left. In her lap lays a small dog. It appears to be a Chihuahua. The dog’s body is mostly on the woman’s right leg. The dog’s arms lay over her raised left leg. The dogs’ head is turned, looking at the observer, while its body faces the left. The woman’s right arm is hugging the dog with her right hand covering the dog’s neck.

The woman’s left arm is at her side with her left hand resting on top of a small boys head. The boy is looking up at the woman. He is squatting down and his arms are on the woman’s side. The woman is wearing a long white tunic dress. Her body is made of black marble. The boy’s body is also black, with a white toga. The dog is white with black eyes. The woman’s tunic-dress a belt design that is sectioned off into squares of different colors. Her hair has curls and she is wearing a hat. A leaf comes out of her hat and lays on her forehead.
