Visual Summary

Brief Description

Damaged fresco fragment of a face with an eye, nose, and mouth on a light brown background

Detailed Description

The image displays a square, light brown panel with a heavily damaged, irregular fragment of a fresco embedded in its center. The fragment, roughly oval in shape, features a face rendered in muted tones, primarily light gray and white. The surface of the fragment is rough and cracked, with significant portions of the original material missing, particularly around its perimeter. Visible features of the face include a right eye, a nose, and a mouth. Above the eye, a blue arch is visible, with a blue circular shape to its left. A thin green line curves above the blue arch. The nose is a simple, elongated shape, and the mouth is a small, reddish-brown line. The face itself is light-colored, contrasting with the darker, textured areas of damage. The surrounding panel is a uniform, plain light brown.
