Chiaro da Verrazzano

Italian 17th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture shows a man's bust with detailed clothing and a cap, made of marble. The man has a neutral expression with distinct facial features, including well-defined eyes, a prominent nose, and a slightly solemn mouth. The base has an inscription that reads "M.CHIARO DA VER." The craftsmanship, texture of the clothing, and refined facial details give the piece an elegant and classic aura.
