Sepia reproduction of a man's head and shoulders, turning toward the viewer, lit from the left against a dark background.

Bust of a Man

A monochrome reproduction shows a bust-length man with dark, full hair and a close-cropped mustache, turning his head toward the viewer. Light falls across his pale forehead and face while the surrounding background and dark garment recede into deep brown shadow, with an ornamented collar edging his shoulder.
