    Anyone recognize this handsome young man or was he only sculpture worthy to the artist and possibly a handful of his friends and family? Guessing it’s the latter. Too bad about his nose. Hopefully his next owner can Kyratize (sp?) him. BEAF498C-027F-4AA2-871C-E3C13FC015F0.jpeg B4EF5D2E-DAC3-4C08-ADFD-B81288D25014.jpeg

    Plaster. It’s not commercially made and likely not more than 50 years old. I purchased it from the home of artists. Could have been made by one of them. Wasn’t sure if it was trying to emulate a historic piece or just someone they knew or a self portrait. I’ll try to snap a pic of the base tmrw.

    The style is 1950s-ish.

    That would make sense. Maybe a young self portrait or of an art school mate.

    Rather specific features. I'd think a portrait.
