Female and Male Herm, Neoclassical marble sculptures at Indianapolis Museum of Art, United States
The pair of marble herms features both female and male figures with upper torsos merging into squared columns on decorative rectangular bases.
The sculptures reflect the ancient Greek tradition of herms, which served as road markers depicting deities, later revived during the Renaissance period.
The female figure displays a wide smile with a flower wreath, while the male figure bears a grape vine crown, representing pastoral and Bacchic elements.
The sculptures remain part of the Indianapolis Museum of Art collection, maintained regularly by conservation specialists since their 1967 donation.
The female head tilts backward at an angle, revealing teeth in her smile, while the male figure exhibits strong facial features with a medium-length beard.
