Visual Description of Artwork
A standing figure wearing a green plastic drape represents the iconic Statue of Liberty. On her head red cone-shaped plastic objects form a spiked crown. She stands gazing through a black telescope with her lowered right arm holding an extinguished red torch. The telescope is made of plastic parts and stands on the base with a long telescopic lens. The Liberty figure stands on a red, white and blue patriotic looking plaque, and both the figure and telescope are placed on an old white weathered board.
