- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. first half of the 3rd century CE. A majestic depiction of a male figure, perhaps of royal birth from the Severan period, the torso finely sculpted from Crema Valencia marble – a creamy yellow variant with red-orange veining – and the head from soft white marble. Broad shoulders don a cuirass with pleated shoulder flaps, with a flowing paludamentum draped atop and fastened over the right shoulder with a domed brooch. The left-facing head presents a serene visage defined by heavy-lidded almond eyes and drilled pupils surmounted by thin brows, an angular nose above rounded lips and a dimpled chin, well-defined ears, and a contoured neck line, all beneath a thick coiffure of wavy hair with recessed corners in front. Presented atop a carved marble block and socle, this is a beautiful and stunning portrait bust from the Roman Empire! Size: 11.625" W x 15.9" H (29.5 cm x 40.4 cm).
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection, acquired at auction in Berlin, Germany
