Sculptures in perspective

This is a wooden sculpture that resides in the Salar Jung Museum caught my interest when I first looked at it online.  Looking it up, it's actually two people:  Mephistopheles and Margaretta, two characters from the play Faust.  Faust was published in 1808 by Goethe that shows a story of a sould lured by an evil spirit, and shows the effects of being led astray.  I like this because this was made out of a single block of wood, and also the complexity needed to make two different poses of two different people with one perspective.
