Bronze Bust of Menander in the Getty Villa, June 2008


Bust of Menander
Roman, 1-25 AD
Bronze
Inventory # 77.AB.108
More than sixty portraits of the Greek comic playwright Menander (342-291 BC) have survived. All are based on a Greek bronze original sculpted by Kephisodotos the Younger and his brother Timarchos (both active 340-290 BC). The identity of these portraits was debated until the Greek inscription (Menander) on the base of this small bust was deciphered and proven to be ancient.
