Head of a Young Woman
The sculpture depicts the head of a young woman. The head is carved from off-white stone and appears to be weathered, with darker spots around the surface. The woman's face is youthful, with a subtle expression. Her eyes are depicted as being closed or partially closed. The eyebrows are not defined. The nose is straight and proportional to the rest of the facial features. The lips are thin and pressed together. The woman is wearing a headband that covers her hair, which is carved to show texture on the sides and back. The headband has a wavy pattern around its edge. The background of the image is dark gray to black, with a shadow cast by the sculpture.
