Head of a Bearded Man (architectural fragment)
(Renaissance Europe )
This head is carved in full relief, and is said to be from La Librairie des Cordeliers at Troyes constructed between 1459-1481 and destroyed in 1833. Another in the Museum at Troyes is signed by "Jubert." It is possible that it was intended as the portrait of the architect.
