AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant bust in marble powder depicting the Roman emperor Pertinax. The sculpture presents a classic appearance rich in detail, with careful rendering of the beard, the curly hair and the stern expression typical of imperial portraits. The face is sculpted with great care, highlighting pronounced features and a gaze directed slightly upwards, giving the figure a solemn presence. The bust features a draped garment that falls in natural folds, adding depth and realism to the composition. The surface bears a slightly antiqued patina that enhances its historical and museological appeal. The work is mounted on a discreet and sturdy support, allowing a refined display in any setting. It is a decorative piece with a strong aesthetic impact, ideal for collectors of classical art, enthusiasts of Roman history, or for anyone seeking a furniture element with a noble and timeless character. Shipping will be entrusted to a professional company that will handle professional and careful packing, with express courier and traceable package. No reserve price.
