Head of a Female Figure

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a head of a female figure with a light-brown color. The head is positioned on a dark brown wooden base. The figure has short hair that is curled and pulled back from the face. The hair is thicker on top of the head with two rope-like sections on either side. The eyes are almond-shaped and slanted slightly upwards. The nose is straight and proportional to the rest of the face. The lips are thin and form a subtle, closed-mouth smile. The facial expression appears serene. The background of the image is a solid gray color.
