I am always amazed by how marble can be polished to this degree and can look so soft. I love the detail in the hair and the flow of the fabric. Wonderful sculpting!

Me too! And sometimes the details – like pleats on fabrics or muscles or the softness of the skin, leave me dumbfounded. How on earth did they do it?
