Carved marble statue of Echo by Larkin Mead. Echo stands in a slightly contrapposto pose, weight off her right foot, and holds a horn just above her shoulder in her left hand. Her face is turned to the right, seemingly looking into the distance. Her right hand rests by her hip, stretched out for balance away from her side. The nymph is barefoot and is supported by a decorative floral carved marble post at her back.Artwork Details
