The "Bust Roman Imperial" pays homage to the classical beauty of ancient Greece.
Handcrafted from marble, each piece is unique, distinguished by variations in color and veining. Measuring W. 19 cm, D. 15 cm, and H. 49 cm, this bust echoes the head of a Greek statue from the 4th century B.C., possibly portraying Herakles or a triumphant athlete. Romans often transformed these classical masterpieces into decorative sculptures, leaving an enduring legacy of timeless elegance.HISTORIC PROVENANCE

The Roman bust of a youth at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York typifies how the Romans often crafted decorative works by recreating the heads of well-known Greek sculptures on busts or rectangular herms. This carefully carved reinterpretation has been created in marble and rests upon a granite-style plinth.
