Porphyry Bust with Marble Veil

A porphyry bust of a woman's head wearing a white marble veil sits against a neutral wall. The polished reddish-brown face contrasts with the pale, folded marble drapery and the carved, wavy hair; soft side light reveals the surface texture and facial planes. Fine white veins and subtle hairline cracks run across the cheek of the porphyry.
