Sculpture. A close-up of a bronze statue depicting a bearded male figure with an intense expression. His hair is adorned with curled horns or stylized locks, giving him a mythical or divine appearance. The lighting casts dramatic shadows on his face, emphasizing the texture of the sculpture. The background is blurred with soft, glowing lights, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere.
