What are three characteristics of Romanesque sculpture?

Three characteristics of Romanesque sculpture include thin and elongated figures, abstract designs and human-like features. Romanesque sculpture also saw the first attempts at making figures stand out from the walls.

Other Romanesque sculpture characteristics include:

• Faces that look more realistic and soft, which contrasts with the harsh features of previous eras.
• Bone structure within the faces.
• Figures have some three dimensional figures and do not rely on resting into the walls.
• The drapery surrounding figures begins to look more realistic and soft than previous eras.
• Subject matters start to tell stories. For example, they may represent the kings of France as descendants of the kings, queens and prophets in the Bible.
