The name of this sculpture is "Veiled Vestal Virgin" it was made by the request of The Duke of Devonshire to Raffaelle Monti, an italian artist. It appears in a scene of the movie "Pride and Prejudice" where the protagonist gives it a deeply look, I was watching this movie the first time I saw it.
I really like this sculpture, I don't know much about sculptures but when I first saw this piece of art I was impressed about how it is possible to sculpt a human face covered by a veil. It is incredible how the veil that covers the face sems real.
I don't know if this piece of art it's better than others, I think that is different from other famous sculptures that are all in the same line.


I have another piece of art that I really like, it is the Guernica, I first saw this work in a History test when I was in 7° grade, at first I didn't understand the painting, I just saw different abstract figures and lines, but when I got what Picasso wanted to transmit about the war this painting becomes my favourite one.
