AFRICAN VENUS TEE

Modeled from life in the artist’s studio in Paris, this sculptural bust of a woman would have appealed predominantly to European audiences drawn to exoticized representations of other cultures. The model’s heavy-lidded eyes, parted lips, and lightweight drapery reinforce such stereotypes, but the realism and pose create a strong impression of individuality and dignity. • 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (Heather colors contain polyester) • Fabric weight: 4.2 oz/yd² (142 g/m²) • Pre-shrunk fabric • Side-seamed construction • Shoulder-to-shoulder taping • Blank product sourced from Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras, or the US
