The Hindu Temple v2.c12.84

v2.c12.84

The figure tuns towards the wall of the temple in three quarter back view, and its face is nown in profile. It forms a volume placed diagonally in space against the gound of the relief. Her elephantine shoulder is pushed forward in her slow and unconcerned movement; it is summed up by the—extremely consciously—appctioned flux of the scarf across shoulder and back. The arm is drawn back towars it so as to allow its full effect to the globe of the breast and the milder curve of th hip. The angular, half awkward, half capricious drawing back of the arm, its ejow touching the scarf, leads to the key-point of the disposition of the volume ofthe figure within the prism of the stone on whose socle surface her feet are firny planted.
