What is a head bust?
1 Answer
A head bust is a sculpted part of the human figure showing only the person’s head and neck. Sometimes sculptors may also include a portion of the chest and shoulders. It is considered by some to be the most intimate form of sculpture. On 1stDibs, you can find antique and vintage head busts.
