Portrait of a man

Unknown male portrait. A hermes. This personnage is without a beard, of mature age, and wears the strophium around his hair. The portrait is probably that of some philosopher or poet. The features are somewhat similar to those of the Emperor Claudius, and the likeness is enhanced by the peculiarity of the ears which are overlapping and projecting. A fine sculpture.
