Classical Busts

A bust is a sculpture of the upper part of the human figure including the head and neck and usually part of the shoulders and breast. The term bust dates from the 16th century, from the French term buste, meaning ‘sculpture of upper torso and head’, though it may have been derived from the old Latin boro, ‘to burn,’ in reference to human-shaped Etruscan burial urns.
