Fragmented Bust on Marble Base

A sculptural study in deliberate incompleteness, this fragmented bust from John Richard rests upon a marble base that grounds its quietly arresting presence. Carved from stone, the work speaks to the classical tradition while embracing the beauty of what remains — the partial, the suggested, the architecturally resonant. At twenty inches, it commands a console or library shelf with the authority of a collected antiquity, lending any interior an immediate sense of cultural depth and curatorial intention.
