Indian Sculpture c8.58

c8.58

The massive body is solidly modelled in the round. Hips and breasts are prominent, but kept within the compactness of the whole. A short neck separates, as little as possible, the roundness of the single forms. Their static quality is relieved, though not disturbed, by such muscles as are indicated on the abdomen or surround unseeing eyes, and a mouth that does not betray anything further than a bounteousness which is not human. The rendering of ‘folds’ corresponds with that of Fig. 2.
