This is my favorite sculpture, the Veiled Vestal Virgin, by Raffaele Monti (1818-1881) done in marble, 1847. Still trying to figure out how he did the veil.

Crazy detail on that veil.
i must know how it's done. it's mesmerizing.
haunting...yet angelic.
That looks scary. Maybe they glazed the real model through the Krispy Kreme machine. :)
