The image shows a black-and-white photograph of an old stone or metal relief sculpture. The relief sculpture depicts a man's head in profile facing left. The man has short hair that is receding on top. The hair on the sides is longer, with wavy locks falling to his shoulders. He has a slight double chin. The sculpture is mounted on a wooden panel. The panel has a light-colored wood grain background with several dark holes scattered around the edges. The panel appears to be rectangular with slightly rounded corners. The surface of the panel shows signs of wear.
