Kop van een man, fragment van een beeldhouwwerk 1881 - 1912

"Kop van een man, fragment van een beeldhouwwerk" is a photograph of a sculpted head of a man in profile by Joseph Edouard Van Looy. The photograph was made sometime between 1881 and 1912, shortly before the artist’s untimely death in 1896. The piece is a fragment of a larger sculpture, with the head seemingly detached from the body. The image is presented in a classic, minimalist style, highlighting the sculpted form and focusing on the contours and details of the face. This work displays the skill of Van Looy, known for his sculptures and photography.
