Death Mask of Sir Thomas Lawrence

Richard James Lane

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows three views of a death mask. The death mask is of a man with a bald head. The three views show the front and both sides of the mask. The mask appears to be made of plaster or stone and is a light gray color. The eyes are closed. The nose is straight and proportional to the rest of the face. The mouth is closed with a slight downturn at the corners. The mask is shown against a white background. The image is in black and white. The artist's rendering of the mask is detailed and lifelike. The image presents a somber and reflective mood.
