Synopsis: This is an image of a sculpture of a reclining woman. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is the right way up. The sculpture is shown from the side with the head to the top right, and where the feet would be to the bottom left. It is an abstract sculpture. The upper part of the head has a downward curving recess. Down and slightly right from it is the sculptures left shoulder and upper arm. The figure rests on her elbows so the lower arm goes to the left from the bent elbow. The other arm is similarly bent but only parts of this lower arm can be found as it is partially hidden by part of the body. From the elbow it goes left, disappears behind the body then reappears briefly where there is a hole in the body and it shows through. The rest of the body is to the left. The knees are bent up and the lower legs go down to the bottom left of the image. The sculpture does not have feet.
