A nearly square photo of the front view of two sculptures in white marble against a gray backdrop. At left is a sculpture of a smooth-faced young man wearing a cap and smock, standing on his right foot and holding up his bent left leg with his left foot on a small pillar (next to which rests a wheel or cog), so that the leg supports a book in which he takes notes. At right is an older man - mustached and bearded - standing next to a block on which sits an anvil. A toothed gear leans against the base of the block. The man holds a hammer in his right hand; his left hand rests on another toothed gear.

@artinsociety.bsky.social, artinsociety.com/forgotten-wo... #artherstory #womenartists

A drawing in somber tones (shades of brown and black) of a youngish woman in a long-sleeved dark gown with a V-neck seated in a ladderback chair, seated sideways facing the left edge of the artwork. She turns her head toward her left shoulder so as to look at the viewer. There is a drawing board in her lap, on which her right forearm and hand rest. She holds a stylus in her right hand. Her left elbow is bent so that her left forearm crosses her body, resting on the drawing board; her left hand rests on her right forearm just above the wrist.
