Head of a Woman

Michel Colombe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman's head, by Michel Colombe, carved from white marble. The woman's face is rendered with a serene expression, her eyes are closed. Her hair is covered with a headband or turban-like piece of fabric, gathered and wrapped around her head with a small spherical ornament on top. The sculpture is cropped just below the neck. The background of the image is dark gray, with the sculpture casting a subtle shadow on the surface below it.
