"Marie's Sculpture" is the fifth episode of the sixth season of the American sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond (1996–2005), written by Jennifer Crittenden and directed by Randy Suhr. Everybody Loves Raymond follows the life of Newsday sportswriter Ray Barone (Ray Romano) and his oddball family, which includes wife Debra (Patricia Heaton), parents Frank (Peter Boyle) and Marie (Doris Roberts), brother Robert (Brad Garrett), daughter Ally (Madylin Sweeten), and twin sons Michael (Sullivan Sweeten) and Geoffrey (Sawyer Sweeten).
In "Marie's Sculpture," Marie produces an abstract statue that (while not of her intentions) looks like a vagina, which makes most of the family uncomfortable. Lauri Johnson and Mary Gillis guest star as two Sisters who look at the statue for a church auction. Originally airing on CBS on October 22, 2001, "Marie's Sculpture" was the top-rated television program that night, scoring 21.21 million viewers aged 18 to 49. It has been considered by some television critics to be one of the best Raymond episodes and by TV Guide the 42nd Greatest Episode of All-Time. Crittenden received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for "Marie's Sculpture."
