Description

A marble head of a sculpture, shown close up and turned slightly to one side, with hair carved in wavy locks swept back over the head. A crack runs down the right side of the face and a dark stained patch covers the cheek and jaw. The neck ends in a break, and part of a shoulder shows below against the pale background, with the print mounted on a light green card.
