Homer is a 1855 photographic by Roger Fenton, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a photo of a stone bust of a bearded man. His hair is curly and long, falling over his shoulders. The face looks calm but serious, with deep lines around the eyes and mouth. The bust is cut off at the chest, showing a flat back with a small rectangular hole. The photo was taken in 1855, and the bust is meant to look like the ancient poet Homer. The artist, Roger Fenton, made it from stone, and the details in the hair and face are very precise. If you like this kind of sculpture, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
