Upper 3/4 Standing Female Nude, Lucille Douglass, charcoal
This bronze sculpture represents a young black boy carrying a small-mouthed jug. Both of his hands are wrapped around the jug in his arms, and another jug lays on its side at his feet. He is clothed in a tunic-like garment, and his posture is active: swinging arms, a cocked head, and bent knees.
Isadora Duncan, Abraham Walkowitz
The black and white image shows several faces drawn upon a hinged door. Two large faces take up most of the right side of the composition. In the top left corner there is another face of a woman, who instead of facing forward, has sideways glancing eyes. Above her head is a signature marking. In the bottom of the composition other small drawings are scattered on either side of the large female head.
