Head of a Patriarch

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts the head and neck of an older man with a bald head, a long, curved mustache and beard. The man's face is weathered, with chipped paint revealing a lighter color underneath, possibly the original wood or a base coat. The sculpture is mounted on a square wooden base. The background is dark at the top and fades to light gray at the bottom. The sculpture titled 'Head of a Patriarch' is by an unknown artist.
