Description

Frontal view of a sculpted head in pale stone, showing a man with short, close-set curls, heavy-lidded eyes, a broad nose and a firm, set mouth. The head sits on a dark support, with the neck cut off at the bottom, and the surface is weathered and pitted in places. The print has a light border with handwritten labels in the margins.
