Description
An alabaster figure depicting girls reading a book. The girls are seated on a stone bench, next to them a dog with a collar, also gazing at the book held by the readers. The girls are dressed in long dresses, with slippers and socks on their feet, scarves tied in a bow around their necks, and a delicate bun of hair on their heads. Their hands are spread over the book, one held on the shoulder. The whole is mounted on a gilded wooden base, shaped like the figure’s plinth. Great attention to detail and excellent craftsmanship by the artist.
