Description

A bust of a bearded man, cut off at the waist, with a wreath of rounded forms around the head and a beard of small curls. The right hand is raised to the chest, and a diagonal band crosses the torso. The surface shows cracks and chips, the nose is damaged, and the bust rests on a dark surface against a wood-grain backdrop.
