A carved head and bust of a bearded man with attentive, slightly melancholic eyes, modelled in a bronze-like medium with visible sculpting marks. The artist emphasized the eyes and mouth, creating a contemplative expression, while the narrow pedestal and textured neck draw attention upward to the face. The work balances realism and stylization: facial anatomy and beard are rendered with fidelity, yet the surface retains an artisanal, hand-worked quality.

The piece reads as a character study, quietly dignified, where portraiture meets the tactile immediacy of the sculptural process.
