This is a black-and-white photo of a stone bust. The figure has curly hair and a thick beard, dressed in a draped cloak that falls over one shoulder. The face looks calm but serious, with a slight tilt to the head. This photo was taken in 1855, showing a sculpture meant to look like a Roman emperor. The lighting is simple but clear, making the details stand out. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
