At the Threshold 1912 - 1920

Edith Woodman Burroughs's "At the Threshold" is a captivating sculpture of a young, nude woman standing with her hand to her chest. The life-size, realistic figure is crafted in plaster and demonstrates Burroughs's unique ability to capture the subtle nuances of the human form. This artwork, created between 1912 and 1920, showcases the artist's focus on classical themes and her skillful use of form and light to create a sense of quiet introspection. Now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "At the Threshold" is a testament to the artist's talent and the enduring power of the human figure in sculpture.
