A limestone half-length bust of a bearded man in a round cap, carved in high relief from a block with a flat backing slab, photographed outdoors on a stone wall; the curled beard and furrowed brow are finished, while pencil lines still mark the garment across the chest.

Pediment Bust

Limestone · 2001 · Château, Laval, France

A pediment bust carved for a château in Laval, France — part of Jean-Claude Marchionni's work on European heritage architecture. The bearded figure in a round cap projects from its block, the head brought to full character while the garment is still being drawn out of the stone.
