Poor girl ! I guess she's modestly covering up - but I wouldn't be surprised if she's shivering too. Yes, winter has kicked in: there was a heavy frost this morning.
I'm told this is a copy of the nineteenth century Venus Italica statue, by the sculptor Canova. Another copy can be seen in Sydney too (see Comments, below).
Seen in the gardens at Sandon Hall.

I wouldn't mind wandering through those gardens!
ReplyDeleteWe also have a copy of that statue in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney.

Ha nice! A novel take on "shelter."
ReplyDeleteA heavy frost? OH dear!
ReplyDeleteThe lady of the garden has found herself a wonderful sheltered spot Mark.
ReplyDeleteAt least she's sheltered from the wind. ;)
