Mexican Girl Dying 1846 - 1848

Thomas Crawford's "Mexican Girl Dying" (1846-1848) is a marble sculpture depicting a young woman, likely a Native American, in a state of repose. Her head is adorned with a headdress of feathers, and her body is draped in a garment made of leaves. The sculpture's realistic and sensitive portrayal of the subject, along with the somber mood it evokes, has contributed to its popularity among art-lovers. The work is currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
