In Arthur Schopenhauer (sculpture), how is the Design and reception discussed?
Schopenhauer depicts its subject at age seventy-one, a year before his death. The bust prominently features Schopenhauer's much-caricatured bald crown, unruly hair and shaggy sideburns.: 27  The figure is unclothed, showing the subject's bare shoulders and upper chest.: 138  The eyes are lightly incised, and the head is slightly tilted, with an ambiguous expression; these details make the portrait more personal than Ney's earlier, more strictly neoclassical works.: 27 Schopenhauer was considered to be a good likeness of its subject, if flattering.: 27  The work was well received by critics, and also by Schopenhauer himself, who had been deeply displeased with his own earlier portraits in painting and photography.: 136  The success of the piece contributed to Ney's commission for her next major work, a bust of King George V of Hanover.: 141
