Not my favorit period, but it looks great.
I wonder what is wrong with the left eye. It look's that the eye is not sculpted very well when i look at the right.
It is possible the angle of the picture.

I think the sculpting is a bit deeper there, but I don't think it's wrong. We should buy it to look closer.
Very fine bust !
