About this work

This is a stone bust of a person wearing a hat with a flat brim and a stiff collar. The face is smooth, with simple lines for the eyes and mouth. The hair is carved in short, neat strokes under the hat. The bust looks like it’s made from a single block of stone, with the background left rough. The hat’s details—like the brim’s shape and the hair peeking out—stand out against the plain face. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
