This marble bust shows signs of deliberate deterioration and weathering, creating an unsettling effect that aligns with its title. The classical sculpture features elaborately carved wavy hair arranged in symmetrical ripples around the head. The marble's surface displays a mix of smooth, pristine areas contrasting with sections that appear corroded or stained, with patches of black, rust-colored, and cream discoloration spreading across one side. The eyes are deeply carved, with one appearing more degraded than the other. The neck is truncated, typical of ancient busts, but shows similar patterns of intentional decay. The overall effect suggests a once-pristine classical sculpture that has been artistically "damaged," creating an intriguing dialogue between preservation and destruction. Several other sculptural forms can be seen blurred in the background, but the focus remains on this central piece mounted on a light-colored pedestal against a dark backdrop.
