Woodcarving

Victor F. Muollo

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a side profile of a human head with a laurel wreath adorned with rose-like flowers. It is made of wood with visible wood grains and texture. The colors used are primarily brown for the hair and wreath, subtle red for the flowers, and flesh tones for the face. The sculpture also features clothing in green and red hues. It appears to be a bas-relief with a slightly raised surface against a flat background, resembling a carved wooden panel. The wear and aging marks on the wood add texture and character to the piece.
