A terra-cotta portrait of a young woman.

What do her eyes tell you? She knows the answer to a mystery she'll never share. A hidden secret.

Terra-cotta colored clear matte finish with a coating of clear acrylic for a bit of shine in highlighted areas.

Hand sculpted over the course of two weeks with love and care. One of a kind -NEVER to be reproduced. Comes with a certificate with sculptures information and artist's (my) bio and signature.

Figure is 3/4 round with a flat back for hanging. A thick clay piece with two small sculpted brackets in the back to attach ribbon or hanging wires to hang on the wall or anywhere else this lady should watch from.

Face measures 9" long by 6 " wide and about 4" deep at the nose.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me.

Inspired by greek and roman statuary, I decided to model a portrait of a modern girl. The open eyes represent the entrance to the soul, where secrets cannot hide.
