Bust of Figurine

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bust of Figurine by Alberto Giacometti. The image shows a gray stone bust on a stand. The bust appears to be a rough, abstract humanoid figure with a large head and a body that consists of two bulbous sections on either side of a central area; two circles form the eyes. The head is round with a small neck. The body sections have curved lines carved into them. The bust is on a black stand with a rectangular base and a thin vertical post. The background is a gradient from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
