This is a photo of a marble bust showing just the head, shoulders, and upper chest of a person. The hair is pulled back, and the face has a calm, slightly turned look. The fabric draped over the left arm looks soft and folds naturally. This photo was taken in the 1800s, but the bust itself is much older. The lighting makes the curves of the neck and shoulders stand out clearly. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro.
