The image displays two light-colored, possibly marble or alabaster, sculptures of female figures presented on a low, rectangular pedestal within a museum setting. This scene is located in the Louvre-Lens museum in Lens, France, identifiable by its characteristic minimalist display environment and collection focus. The sculpture on the left depicts a female figure, likely Saint Veronica, standing upright. She wears long, flowing robes and a head covering that drapes over her shoulders. Both hands hold a rectangular cloth horizontally at chest level, presenting it forward. An etched or carved representation of a male face, consistent with the Holy Face of Jesus, is clearly visible on the cloth. The figure's head is slightly bowed, and her gaze is directed towards the cloth. The sculpture on the right portrays another female figure, likely Mary Magdalene. She stands with her hands clasped together at chest height in a prayerful gesture. Her body is almost entirely enveloped by long, undulating strands of hair that cascade from her head down to her feet, depicted as a garment-like texture. Her head is tilted slightly upwards, and her expression is calm. Both sculptures are positioned against a plain, light grey wall. The pedestal, also light-colored, is illuminated from beneath by a concealed light source, creating an upward glow that highlights the base of the sculptures and casts soft shadows on the wall behind them. The overall lighting is uniform and subdued, accentuating the forms of the sculptures.
