Description

A marble head shown frontally against a dark background, with the hair drawn back in wide bands over the forehead and ears. The eyes are large with heavy lids, the nose is chipped, and the lips are closed. The neck runs down to a rough, uneven base, and a white painted line outlines the right side of the head.
