Marble Independence Allegory

Compose a vertical 9:16 fictional marble installation inside an invented monumental hall. Place two original adult figures in the lower middle: the front figure has shifted weight onto one forward foot and releases their arm toward open space; the figure behind remains one step lower and reaches toward that arm without grabbing it. Keep expressions restrained and let shoulder angle, hand distance, and opposing weight carry the allegory. Dress both in simple, culturally non-specific carved drapery. Render weathered ivory stone with fine chips, repaired seams, and age variation without assigning a Roman date, excavated origin, artist, or real collection. Send one narrow warm beam onto the advancing figure while the rear figure stays in softer shadow. Continue columns and walls into a dark but textured upper half suitable for optional user copy. No text in the image, named sculpture, museum claim, religious symbol, violence, real-person likeness, or frame.
