Description
This is a heavily copied bust of the Greek philosopher Socrates (469-399 BC), housed in The Villa Albani. The characteristic features of the philosopher are apparent in this depiction, with a furrowed brow, turned up nose and full beard. The bust is that of a cropped herm with a square base.

I always wondered how sculpts would look like if painted. This started when I was told that the sculpts in the metope of Parthenon where painted and what remains today is the decoloured marble after many ages.
Some times I just try to paint, but in other cases, something provocative comes into my mind and I follow a more creative path. In any case, enjoy!
