Head, 1895. The unidentified subject - who could be either male or female - is set against the merest suggestion of a landscape and gazes into the wide blue yonder beyond the picture space. Evoking both Pre-Raphaelitism and the richly layered art of the Renaissance, the work suggestively shares monumentality and lyricism at the same time. Head, 1895. Creator: Simeon Solomon.
