Sorrow

When I saw this statue outside a tomb in Havana's biggest cemetary I couldn't help but stand there and stare for what felt like a quarter of an hour. It's life-sized, and the artist had a keen appreciation of how to make a fully clothed woman appear curvacious to the point of nakedness. The cherry on the cake - for me anyway - is the sombre dignity that's maintained throughout.
