Head of a Man

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture, titled "Head of a Man" by an unknown artist, depicts a bust of a man. The bust is made of a light-colored stone and features a man with a balding head, receding hairline, and short hair on the sides. The man's facial expression appears neutral, with a slightly open mouth. The bust is cropped at the chest, with two small holes on either side, just below the shoulders. The bust sits atop a black, glossy, and wide pedestal with a rounded base and a narrow neck. The background is dark at the top, gradually transitioning to light gray towards the bottom, with a shadow cast to the left of the pedestal.
