AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Carrara marble bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, reconstructed from Carrara marble. The work features classical lines and a naturalistic rendering of the face, characterized by curly beard and carefully worked hair, typical of 2nd-century Antonine portraiture. The gaze, slightly turned upward, gives the figure an aura of meditation and authority, in harmony with Marcus Aurelius's reputation as a philosopher emperor.

The bust displays a smooth surface, with delicate luminous modulations typical of Carrara marble, while the reassembly is visible only in some subtle joint lines, carefully integrated to maintain the historical readability of the work. The imperial robe, rendered with soft and deep folds, completes the portrait by emphasizing the official dignity of the sovereign.
