Mask of the Japanese Actress Hanako (Ohta Hisa)

Auguste Rodin

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark bronze sculpture of a human head with a patina, featuring a woman with short hair. The head is tilted slightly forward, with eyes that appear to be closed or cast downward. The sculpture has a rough texture and visible imperfections on its surface. The background of the image transitions from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom, with the sculpture casting a shadow to the right. The subject's facial features include a nose, mouth, and ears, with the top of the head appearing to be incomplete or broken off.
