Cast in resin and finished in a deep bronze-brown tone with subtle green undertones, the bust has the visual presence of an older patinated bronze while remaining easy to place.

Raised on an integral circular pedestal with molded classical decoration, the sculpture stands just over 16 inches high—substantial enough to command a console, mantel, library table, or pedestal without overwhelming its surroundings. It would be particularly effective layered among old books and paintings in an English country library, against pale plaster in a French-inspired interior, or incorporated into a collected Grand Tour arrangement.

The dark surface gives the sculpture a sophisticated, slightly academic character and works especially well beside aged wood, blue and white porcelain, brass, and other objects accumulated over time.
