A sculptor touches up his life-size, clay sculpture of a young women draped in a toga, holding a ball and bouquet. His model, poses next to the sculpture. The sculptor was one of 44 participating in the 1926 Sculpture Exhibition at the L.A. Chamber of Commerce. The exhibition was under the auspices of the Sculptors' Guild of Southern California and promoted Southern California sculptors availability to L.A. architects.
