Definizione

• Full Face.  A portrait head in front view, with all or part of both ears showing in contrast to a head in profile, or turned to the right or left. Because of compression of relief in bas-relief, a full face portrait is far more difficult to model, than say a profile.  See portraits and portraiture.
