This expressive portrait bust depicts an elderly man with a weathered, heavily textured surface that suggests a life of character and resilience. The sculpture is rendered in a dark, metallic-like finish with prominent reddish-brown undertones, giving it an aged, almost calcified appearance. Fine details like the deeply furrowed brow, thick beard, and intense gaze are captured through bold, tactile modeling rather than smooth lines. Set against a plain white background, the rugged head and shoulders command attention, emphasizing the raw emotional weight and humanity of the subject.
