Antigone
Clay, 21 inches tall.
This imagined portrait of Antigone, the heroine of Sophocles’ Theban plays, depicts the attitude of defiance and firm conviction displayed as she prepares to give up her life as a consequence of her piety.
Antigone, back side
The wedding veil worn by Antigone alludes to several passages in the text of the play that refer to the idea of ‘Antigone as the Bride of Death.’ The tumultuous modeling of the headpiece foreshadows the tragic ending of the play.
