Description
This bust of a young man dates back to the late Imperial period, -probably mid-3rd century A.D. This piece specifically was acquired by the MET in 1908, purchased of A. Barsanti.
Portrait sculptures are among the most vibrant records of ancient Greek and Roman culture. They represent people of all ages and social strata: revered poets and philosophers, emperors and their family members, military heroes, local dignitaries, ordinary citizens, and young children. The Met's distinguished collection of Greek and Roman portraits in stone and bronze is published in its entirety for the first time in this volume.
