About the sculpture
It is likely that this head of a bearded man formed part of the sculptural programme over one of the side portals of the Abbey Church of Saint-Gilles-du-Gard, Provence. The massive sculptural programme of the west façade of Saint-Gilles is one of the most impressive monuments of Romanesque art. The sculptures at Saint-Gilles-du-Gard represent the epitome of the Romanesque style in the Provence, incorporating strong influences from the surrounding areas, but clearly affected by the considerable remains of classical sculpture to be found in the region.
