Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture is a wooden head of a man with intricate facial features including hair, eyes, and facial expressions. Made of wood, it has a rich brown color with visible grain patterns. The bust captures the head and part of the neck, with the hair styled closely around the head and slightly protruding ears. The expression is serious, with the eyes gazing straight ahead, and deep-set lines on the face enhance the lifelike quality of the work.
