derived from a photo shot by Myra Lambino,

Medusa 1911 by Vincenzo Gemito (Italian, 1852 – 1929),

The Getty: “xxx The sculptor Vincenzo Gemito derived his composition from the famous antique cameo, the Tazza Farnese, but transformed it into an entirely new kind of sculptural object. He revived Renaissance techniques of lost-wax casting to make the relief. Although he concentrated on the face of the two-sided, glistening metallic relief, he textured the back with snakeskin.”
