Also provide a visual analysis with reference to materials, style, form, etc. just as you have been doing in section. After describing and analyzing the work, discuss what its impact or meaning might be for a viewer. What has the sculptor done to give the work this impact? How do you perceive Douglass as seen in the sculptor’s work?

This work can be any that you choose from the Sculpture Gallery without regard to historical period, size, material, gender of represented figure, subject matter, style, etc. You might want to choose something very similar or completely opposite. Briefly analyze this second work and discuss the points of comparison and contrast you want to make.
