Note:
Of the similar work in the Robertson Collection, Blodgett notes, “The down turned corners of his eyes and mouth and the frown give [this face] a rather doleful expression [...] Distinguishing the hair from the skin surface is its abrupt elevated edge and the many overlapping random incised lines that cover the surface.”
