Masouba

George Baer · 1927 · oil on canvas ·  Accession ID  1964.19.1

The sculpture is a life mask of a human face with closed eyes, a prominent nose, and slightly parted lips. It is made of a dark, possibly bronze or darkened metal, giving it a shiny, reflective surface. The face appears serene with closed eyes, and the detailed features convey realism. The sculpture is three-dimensional and life-size, resembling an actual human face. There is a small metal loop at the top of the sculpture.
