Testa Marco Aurelio, a sculpture in marble powder from Italy, unsigned, in discrete condition, 15 cm wide, 33 cm high, 21 cm deep, weighing 4 kg, mounted on a black metal square base.
Description from the seller
Elegant representation of the head of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (AD 121–180), made in marble powder and inspired by the famous portraits of imperial Roman sculpture.
The face, characterized by a contemplative expression, a full, richly worked beard, and hair composed of soft curls, effectively conveys the image traditionally associated with Marcus Aurelius, emperor, philosopher and author of the famous Meditations.
The surface presents a warm, lived-in patina, with color variations that enhance the detailing and give the sculpture a suggestive antique appearance. The three-dimensionality of the face, the richness of the beard and the definition of the hair make the work particularly scenic even when viewed from different angles.
The head is mounted on an elegant black metal stand, with a square base, creating a contemporary contrast with the classical aesthetics of the sculpture and facilitating its display.
A striking decorative and collectible object, ideal for lovers of classical art, Roman history, and sculptures inspired by antiquity. Shipping will be entrusted to a professional company that will handle professional and careful packaging, with express courier and trackable package. No reserve price
