Busts of Monarchs, Photograph depicts two statues, perhaps of a Queen and a King. Both are regally adorned with great detail, the woman wears a headpiece and a necklace and the man wears a high, flamboyant collar. Both hold their chins high and gaze confidently forward. The pedestals are simple, making the details of the statues more dramatic.
