Karikatuur in klei

A caricature study in clay

Even though a realistic portrait is the most wanted, I thought it would be fun to make a three dimensional portrait.

In a caricature the most striking faetures of a face are enlarged and exaggerated, which tends to have a comical effect.

In the past, there even have been sculptors who specialized in this, such as the famous 19th century French sculptor Honoré Daumier. But you mostly only see two-dimensional caricatures, such as they make them at Montmarte in Paris.
