Marble Bust of a Youth in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, March 2010


Title: Marble bust of a youth
Medium; Technique: Marble
Culture: Roman
Period: Imperial
Date: 1st or 2nd century A.D.
Dimensions: H. 22 in. (55.9 cm.) width 12 1/2 (31.8 cm.) depth 12 in. (30.5 cm)
Classification: Stone Sculpture
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1915
Accession Number: 15.143
On View
Description:
Copy of the head of a Greek statue of the 4th century B.C.
The very short hair and the broken cartilage of the ears indicate that this head belonged to either a statue of Herakles or a victorious athlete. The Romans often
created decorative works by carving the heads of well-known Greek statues on busts or on rectangular herms. The surface of this piece has been severely cleaned, and the back may have been re-cut in modern times.
