Description

The central figure of this particular composition is the statue head of the ancient Greek mythological deity Hegea, which is supported by a metal vertical rod ending in a cube-shaped base. Two books are placed opposite each other on the front and right (as viewed by the viewer) part of the statue head, while an open book can be seen on the left, which probably has pictures. A strongly pleated fabric is placed behind the head, while the depth appears indeterminate, despite the geometric formations that can be discerned.
