Description

A marble head with the face turned toward the camera, photographed alone against a plain light backdrop. The hair is carved in wavy strands swept back over the forehead and down at the sides, and the eyes have defined lids. The surface is mottled with small pits and speckles, and the head rests on a flat base.
