Desolation, Marble sculpture at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain.
The marble sculpture depicts a female figure in a position of grief, measuring 67 centimeters in height and 80 centimeters in length.
Josep Llimona created this masterwork in 1907, winning a gold medal at the V Exposition of Fine Arts in Barcelona that same year.
The sculpture represents a shift in artistic expression within the Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc, which previously maintained restrictions against nude representations.
Visitors can find the 700-kilogram marble sculpture in the Dome Room of the museum, with wheelchair accessibility provided for viewing.
Multiple replicas of this sculpture exist worldwide, including one placed in front of the Parliament of Catalonia and another in Boston's Kelleher Rose Garden.
