Angel Arms

Angel Arms

Anyone want to give a name to this lovely creature. I don’t think Angels are usually represented as having wings for arms and such perky breasts. Is it from Greek mythology or the artist’s imagination?

Near the Hudson in the early 100’s, Upper West Side, 107th street, I think. View Large

    i think it is an imaginative extension of the winged cherub…clearly a cherub teen rather than faux-enfant–the Winged Victory of Samothrace is closed in rather limber, lawn materials that show perky breasts too–only her head is missing in the ages.
