Don't Blink

Are there any "Doctor Who" fans out there? If there are, you'll understand why statuary creeps me out now.

I do like these two ladies, though. I found them one morning in Vienna and was impressed by their drapery. I took an art history class in college and it made me understand and appreciate art a lot more, especially how difficult drapery was to sculpt. This sculptor, whoever he was, did a pretty decent job.

I looked at these caryatid figures and thought that they looked familiar. ;-) Beautiful picture!
Now I am left to wonder where they are tending their duties.
