I removed the platform, plaque and stand from the original photograph, leaving only the bust. I also cropped the photograph.
The original description of this photograph was, "Exhibit in the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA. This artwork is in the public domain because the artist died more than 70 years ago. Photography was permitted in the museum without restriction."
