Marble portrait bust of a man

Roman

Not on view

The forehead of the easy-going subject is articulated to a high degree; the cranial bones are prominent above the nose. There are age lines as well as deposits of fat on the cheeks and around the mouth. The full, beautifully formed lips are slightly drawn in at the corners. Together with the fleshy surface of the face and the small, attentively gazing eyes, they create a distinctly lively impression.
