DescriptionThis nude figure of a woman is made of copper alloy, which is a weathered, green color. The figure is perched upon a rock surrounded by reeds and balances on the toes of her proper left foot. Her proper right knee is raised to the level of her waist. Both arms are raised high in the air, and the fingers are spread widely. Eight water jets surround the rock. An unattached, electric water pump accompanies the piece.Copyright© Estate of Harriet Whitney Frishmuth
