Plaque

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a white marble plaque featuring a raised relief of a man's head. The man's head is facing right, with short hair parted on the left. A small portion of his neck is visible. He appears to have a slightly pointed chin, a long nose and thin lips. The plaque is circular with a raised outer edge. The background behind the plaque is a dark gray color. The overall composition is simple, with the plaque centered in the frame.
