The image displays a line drawing of a standing figure sculpture viewed from the back. The sculpture is tall, depicting a robed figure with a head covering or crown-like hair. The material and color of the sculpture cannot be identified from the drawing as it is in black lines on a white background. The base of the sculpture is inscribed with text that reads "PATENTED FEBRUARY 1868." The figure has a long, flowing robe that cascades down to the base, suggesting a classical or historical style.
