Head of a young Donor
Photo by Jules Barthoux ©GrandPalaisRmn - Guimet Museum
Description
This deteriorated head probably belongs to a young donor. The hair is short and straight, combed forward, with a spike at the top of the head. The facial features are accentuated, almost caricatured, and give it a naïve expression. The eyebrows are furrowed, the eyes slightly exhorbated, while the thick lips are stretched into a wide smile.
