Bust of a Classical Hero or Emperor

Girolamo della Robbia

Cleveland Museum of Art

White ceramic bust of a man with curly hair and beard. The man has a serious expression, with furrowed brows. The bust depicts the man from the chest up, with a wide collar. The collar is decorated with lines and a leaf-like design. The background is dark gray, with a lighter gray center behind the bust. The bust appears to have a glossy finish and some small brown spots. The man's hair and beard are curly and intricately detailed. The bust sits on a flat surface, casting a shadow. The overall appearance is one of a classical or ancient-style sculpture.
