Visual Summary

Brief Description

Painted bust of a crowned figure with closed eyes, dark halo, and textured surface

Detailed Description

This artwork features a painted bust of a figure on an irregular, roughly oval-shaped surface. The figure is depicted from the chest up, centered within the frame. The face is light-skinned with closed eyes, a small mouth, and a prominent nose. Dark lines define the facial features. The figure wears an elaborate crown or headpiece with visible details. Below the head, a simple, dark reddish-brown robe with a V-neck collar covers the shoulders and chest. Behind the figure's head is a dark, almost black, almond-shaped halo, outlined with lighter, possibly white or pale blue, bands. The irregular surface of the artwork appears textured and earthy, with visible cracks and areas where the paint has flaked away, particularly within the dark halo and along the edges.
