Alfred Stieglitz

Gaston Lachaise, model c. 1925-1928, cast 2024

The sculpture is a bust of a man's head. The hair, eyes, nose, and lips are detailed. The man's hair is styled in a short, neat manner, and the expression appears calm and focused. The bust is colored in dark brown, suggesting it is made of patinated bronze. This sculpture rests on a glossy black pedestal.
