This antique terracotta bust captures the timeless elegance of classical Greco-Roman sculpture. Featuring a finely sculpted male figure adorned with a Phrygian cap, this piece echoes the artistry of ancient Roman and Hellenistic Greek traditions. The bust has been finished with a dark patina, adding depth and an aged, museum-quality presence.
Likely from the 19th century, this sculpture may have been part of a Grand Tour collection—a popular practice among European aristocrats who collected classical art as souvenirs from Italy and France. The back and base show natural wear, and a central hole at the bottom suggests it was once mounted on a stand.
