Grotesque Male Head

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sculpture titled "Grotesque Male Head" by an unknown artist. The sculpture is a reddish-brown, stone or clay head of a male figure with a grotesque appearance. The head is viewed from the front, angled slightly toward the right. The figure has a large nose, ears that protrude outward, and sunken eyes. The eyebrows are furrowed, and the mouth is slightly open. The hair is depicted as short and curly, with a decorative border around the forehead. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray, with a shadow cast by the sculpture.
