This is a photo of a stone bust on a pedestal. The figure has wavy hair pulled back, showing a calm face with soft curves. The pedestal has a simple, flat top with a slight groove around the edge. This photo was taken in 1855, showing how artists documented sculptures back then. The bust looks smooth but has some rough spots, like real stone. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
