Unknown Portrait
This Roman head is of a mature male. The lusciousness of his thick, brushed-forward fringe offsets his slightly jowly appearance to render him a certain gravitas or dignity. The drilled-out pupils of his eyes add to this intensity and point to a date in the late second to early third century CE
