Description

A pale stone head of a man with short hair, the locks combed forward over the brow and set in rows of curls at the back and around the ear. It is photographed against a black backdrop, with the cut-off neck resting on a dark blue cord or stand at the bottom. The face is turned to the right, showing the nose and lips, with some dark spots and surface wear on the stone.
