The robe falls from the shoulders in broad vertical folds to the feet, with a sash across the chest and wide sleeves; the hair is drawn up into a topknot under a small cap. One hand is held out from the body, palm up and open, and the other carries a wide flat hat down at the side. The whole figure is clear resin, polished, and stands on a clear acrylic plate that lifts it a hand's depth off the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Hand Held Out at Full Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn open palm held away from the body at this scale is the hardest thing on the piece. It is unsupported, it is the part a viewer's eye goes to, and it is seen against the light, so the fingers are cut with a section that will hold and then relieved on their undersides where the loss cannot be seen; the wrist is set so the forearm carries the hand rather than the elbow. The robe is the long work. Its folds run the full height of the figure and each must keep the same depth from shoulder to hem, or the eye reads the drapery as sagging - they are cut from the hem upward for that reason, against the way the cloth falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 198cm including the base this is a hall, atrium and stair-well piece and it needs to be met from the front, at a distance where the whole figure can be seen at once. Leave the space in front of the open hand clear: that is where the composition points. A clear acrylic base carries light up into the feet of the figure, so a lamp or a window low down does more for it than a ceiling light, which lands on the shoulders and leaves the robe dark. It needs a level floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour, the Base and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. The hands are settled at order, from this open palm and hat to both hands together or a scroll carried in one. The figure can be tinted smoke, amber or green, and frosting suits a room where a full-height figure in gloss would be too much. The base is made in this clear acrylic, in black stone or in brushed steel. Sizes run from a table figure up to above life size. It arrives in one crate standing, with the outheld hand cased separately and the base packed flat; take the weight at the waist and never by an arm. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobed figures are robed at \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, stood on \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, and looked back on through \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassical sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e114cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 x 61.2 x 18cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin on Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020811129179,"sku":"R291","price":14748.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R291.jpg?v=1791315961","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-robed-figure-on-acrylic-base-198cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
