Louis, Duc de Bourgogne

French 18th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a bust of a man with long, curly hair cascading down to his shoulders. He is adorned in a detailed outfit reminiscent of historical attire, featuring a textured, ornate cravat at his neck and armor-like clothing with striations decorating the sleeves. The sculpture is made of a white material, likely marble. The man’s expression is calm and stoic, gazing slightly towards his right with a composed demeanor. The craftsmanship of the sculpture is intricate, emphasizing the detailing in the hair, clothing, and facial features. The bust is mounted on a simple marble plinth that supports the figure.
