Bust Of Caracalla In White Marble, After Antique

Beautiful bust representing the Emperor Caracalla, treated in the taste of Antiquity, with his willful and severe expression, characterized by the wrinkled forehead, the steady gaze, the short, tightly curled hair, as well as a finely chiseled beard.

The ensemble rests on a circular pedestal and presents a beautiful sobriety of line, reinforced by the ample drape that covers the shoulders and gives the sculpture a monumental presence. The energetic physiognomy of the figure, typical of Roman imperial portraits, is particularly well rendered here.

This decorative work, inspired by ancient models, will appeal as much for the quality of its execution as for the expressive power of its subject. It will naturally find its place in a classical interior, a cabinet of curiosities or the decor of a connoisseur of antiques and neoclassical art
