Buste de Bellone

Auguste Rodin

National Gallery of Art

The image portrays an illustration of a person from the chest up, turned slightly to the viewer's left. The person is wearing a helmet with a crest, and long, wavy hair flows out from underneath. The facial features are detailed with a pronounced nose and deep-set eyes, conveying a serious expression. The clothing suggests armor or draped cloth. The background is a plain canvas with no additional objects. On the right side, there is a handwritten inscription in cursive script.
