Head of a Woman

Auguste Rodin

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a head of a human with detailed facial features such as eyes, nose, and lips. It is a muted gray color with a slightly uneven, weathered texture, indicating a stone-like material. The head is slightly angled, and the expression is neutral with closed lips and eyes. The surface shows roughness and imperfections, contributing to an organic and natural appearance.
