Focus on this artwork and analyze the Description.
The statue measures 53 inches (130 cm) x 18 inches (46 cm) x 18 inches (46 cm) and rests on an orange triangular base. Katz is depicted wearing a Portland rose on her lapel.Portland State University's Daily Vanguard described Katz as: "leaning close to a small body with legs crossed and hands in, squeezed together in her lap as if she's cold, too. The teeth are also bared and unusually straight, creating the impression that Katz might snap at passers-by. But overall, the face is open and the hair is particularly lifelike." According to The Oregonian, the sculpture provides a lap on which children can pose and sometimes frightens passersby at night. It is part of the collection of the Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC). The organization has said: "it seems fitting that [Katz's] political leadership and love for the arts should come together in a public tribute to her".Bane's study for the sculpture, called Vera, is a bronze bust measuring 18 inches (46 cm) x 11 inches (28 cm). The bust is part of a private collection.
