White plaster sculpture of a woman's head with wavy hair, downcast eyes and a solemn expression, against a gray background.

Eve Disconsolate, plaster head after Hiram Powers

A white plaster head of a young woman with long, wavy hair pulled back from the face, eyes downcast and lips closed in a solemn expression. The broken neck and rough edges show it is a fragment, lit against a plain gray background.
