The appeal of this sculpture lies in its twisting posture and fluid drapery. Though still the figure s rotated stance conveys a sense of inner motion lending it an implied dynamism that animates the entire form. The crossed legs give the figure a graceful elegance while preserving a strong sense of compositional balance. The folds in the fabric are intricate and finely carved playing beautifully with light and shadow. This creates a tactile illusion of softness from a hard material showcasing a high level of sculptural technique that engages both visual and imagined tactile senses.
