描述
- sandstone
sensitively carved with serene, naturalistic expression, the almond-shaped, hooded eyes well framed beneath arched brows, the aristocratic features intricately conveyed through the prominent well-formed nose, curved mouth and narrow lips, the hair dressed in rows of large, rounded curls, with a neat hairline curving down the sides of the face, revealing the elongated ears, the light grey stone of a smooth patina with traces of green, red and white pigments, black-stone stand.

Condition
Overall good condition, with just minor bruises to three of the curls of the hair, and a tiny bruise to the right cheek, as visible in the catalogue photo. There is other general surface wear. The colour of the sandstone is a slightly warmer and more attractive beige-grey than in the catalogue, where it has come out too dark.
