Female Head

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Female Head by an unknown artist depicts a stone sculpture of a woman's head. The head is shown from the neck up, facing the lower right corner. Her hair is curly and styled in a way that it is pulled back from her face. The sculpture is made of stone and appears to be an ancient piece. It is mounted on a black stand, which is a rectangular base with a thin rod extending upwards to support the sculpture. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
