Bust of John Locke

Martin Jugiez

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark brown bust of a man with long wavy hair on a short pedestal. The man has a neutral expression on his face. He appears to be wearing a collared shirt and a shawl or cloak draped over his chest and shoulders. The bust is angled slightly to the right. The background is a gradient from light gray at the bottom to dark gray at the top. A subtle shadow is cast by the bust onto the surface below it.
