Greek Hero

About this work

This is a photo of a stone bust of a young man with curly hair and a calm face. He’s shirtless, and the sculpture sits on a simple pedestal. The background is plain and dark, so the bust stands out clearly. The photo itself is old and grainy, like a black-and-white snapshot. The artist took care to show the curves of the hair and the smooth skin. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more original works like this.
