What makes this interesting to me is that the background is clearly leaning over to the right, but the figure of the woman is upright. The tension is further heightened by her hand on the edge of the column, as though she’s trying to straighten or balance herself, or to sneak away.
On the other side of this monument is a man figure with his hand reaching around to hold hers. I could only upload one photo…..so…the other side of this monument isn’t shown….it also has the inscription of the African Burying Ground…check the link…. https://www.edarci.com/african-burying-ground-portsmouth/
Very dramatic. Some gaussian blur and desaturate the background would enhance the image.
The flowers bring life to this statue.

nice
I like that often there are flowers placed on this moving monument. And they add a lovely softness to the hard materials.
