Head of Maria, 1935/1936
Tête de Maria
At first the head was created by making a cast of an initial clay or Plasticine model. Subsequently, Giacometti reworked the surface by adding and removing plaster.
No subsequent moulds were made from this plaster, meaning that it did not serve as a template for a bronze cast.
