A woman wrapped in silver and gold robes lifts fabric to reveal her head and face in this freestanding cast bronze sculpture. The woman’s skin and a garment held in place with a belt are polished gold. The fabric that drapes over her head and wraps around her garment is silver, and her hair is dark brown. In this photograph, her body faces us, and she tips her head to look down and slightly to our left. She has a long nose, high cheekbones, a pointed chin, and her lips are closed. The belt has an oval green stone at the front, and it wraps tightly around her ribcage just under her bare breasts. The gold garment puddles around her bare feet, and a bit spills off the front edge of the brown, bronze square platform, which sits on a slightly wider marble base swirled with white and russet brown.

A winged woman has hoisted a young, muscular man up and across one shoulder in this freestanding bronze statue. In this view, the woman runs toward us, her back foot lifted, as she wraps her arms around the man’s thighs. She looks off to our left, her hair swept up. Long, narrow wings slice into the space behind her. Her chest and shoulders are covered with gold armor, and drapery swirls around her legs. The man is nearly nude, covered only with a cloth across his groin. His arms are flung wide, one reaching high in the air and the other holding a broken sword by the woman’s shoulder. His head lolls to one side, his lips parted. A laurel branch lies at the woman’s foot on a small mound textured like a rock. An inscription on the front rim of the base reads “GLORIA VICTIS.”
