marble bust
Carved stone likeness
A marble bust is a sculpture carved from marble depicting a person's head, shoulders, and upper chest.
Busts typically portray notable figures—rulers, philosophers, ancestors—and have been a staple of Western art since antiquity.
The medium suggests permanence and classical dignity: The marble bust of Caesar stood in the library.
Unlike full statues, busts focus attention on the face and expression.
