    This sculpture is at the same time idealized and a living snapshot. The curled hair is stylized and the folds of the dress are similar to the drapes that often cover antique sculptures. The sculptor, Jacob Lundberg, took the name “Giacomo” when he moved to Italy, where he assisted both Byström and Fogelberg, cutting marble.
