About this 3D model

This marble sculpture was created by Lorado Taft in the early 20th Century. The piece is on display at the Chicago Institute of Art and is regarded a strong work of art in neoclassicism. The figures depicted in the sculpture are only partly freed from the marble that emphasizes the mass and outline of the stone. Taft wrote on the piece "The thought is the eternally present fact that however closely we may be thrown together by circumstances... we are unknown to each other".
