Figurehead

Alfred Walbeck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a close-up of a bust, focusing on the head and shoulders of a figure in profile view. The person has detailed facial features, including a sharp nose and small lips, with smooth textured hair. The figure wears a large hat with what looks like a feather or textured design on top, showing wear with cracks and discoloration. A ruffled collar around the neck also shows signs of aging. The background is plain.
