DescriptionThis is a bronze sculpture of a man's bust. His hair is curly and he wears a full beard. He has no arms and very little shoulder beyond the collar bone. The fabric he wears covers his shoulders, coming to a v-neckline at his breastbone. His eyes are open, mouth slightly ajar as he turns his head to the left.
