Fine Italian Grand Tour Marble Bust of Emperor Augustus – Mid 19th Century

A finely carved white statuary marble bust depicting a youthful Augustus Caesar, also known as Octavian, dating to the mid-19th century Grand Tour period. This classical piece is modelled after the celebrated original housed in the Vatican’s Pio-Clementino Museum.
