Grand Tour Bronze Bust of a Roman Emperor

Description

Grand Tour Bronze Portrait Bust of a Roman Emperor. Bust features a bronze draped male figure with his toga secured at each shoulder with folds crisply defined and cascading naturally across chest. He has meticulously rendered facial details such as eyes, nose and mouth, and has short hair and a beard. Bust rests on a white with gray veined cylindrical marble plinth. The weight and solidity of the stone base give the piece presence beyond its scale.
In modern interiors this classical bust will work well in a library or study or on a console or bookshelf. It will beautifully complement traditional or transitional decor. Compact yet commanding, this Grand Tour bronze offers timeless appeal that enriched both traditional and modern interiors alike.
