During the 4th century BC some artists began to inject more emotion into the facial features of male subjects. This head of a young god, perhaps Hermes, Hercules or an athlete, has a particularly sensitive expression, enhanced by the tilting of the head. Sculpture of the period is often marked by a real understanding of the relationship between skin, bone and muscle.
The head has been associated with the famous sculptor Praxiteles, but it is probably the produced of a later school of sculpture that was influenced by that great master. The drilled holes in the hair are from a metal wreath.

There are some support under the head and it should be clean gently otherwise it can be broken while it is cleaning. Enjoy your print.
