Three Roman women are watching the return of galley
ships from a high corner or vantage point.
Coign is an old word for corner
Note the huge bronze statue. I love the soft draping of the women's clothes.
My attention was drawn to this work by a huge doorstop
of a book I got from the library – The Art Book from Phaidon Press. Get it out if you have strong enough
muscles. There are 579 pages, each
dedicated to one work by an artist. The
artists are in alpha order so you get interesting juxtapositions between modern
art and old masters.
