Stone Bust of a Bearded Sage

Description

A highly detailed black-and-grey portrait rendered like a carved stone bust. The bearded face, blank statue eyes and textured headwrap create a timeless, classical aesthetic. The wrapped cap can read as a Phrygian-style head covering, suggesting liberty or an ancient/seafaring identity. Heavy contrast and soft gradients emphasize stone grain and depth, ideal for a vertical forearm placement.
