Manuel Alvarez Bravo photographed this statue, possibly meant to symbolize a muse, in the vicinity of Mexico City's Palace of Fine Arts. Inexplicably draped with burlap sacks, the figure appears to gaze at an object outside the photograph's boundary. Alvarez Bravo captured this timeless image as the sun's rays bore down on the solid stone and the pliable burlap, accentuating their textures in subtle shades of gray.
