About this work

This is a black and white photograph of a bust. The bust is of a man with a mustache and short hair. He is wearing a collared shirt with buttons down the front. The background of the photograph is dark. The bust appears to be made of stone or plaster. The man's facial expression is serious. The photograph is well-lit, with the light source coming from the left side of the image. The photograph is a good example of the technique of chiaroscuro, which uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
