Portrait Bust of a Girl

Cleveland Museum of Art

Marble bust of a young girl titled "Portrait Bust of a Girl" by artist John Singer Sargent. The bust depicts a young girl with a short haircut. The girl's head is tilted slightly forward, and she is looking downwards. She appears to be wearing a robe or tunic with a V-neck and a sash or belt around her waist. The bust is made of white marble and has a smooth, polished finish. The base of the bust is round and slightly wider at the bottom than at the top. The background is a gradient of dark to light gray. The lighting is soft and even, with a slight shadow cast by the bust on the surface below it. The overall style of the bust is realistic and classical.
