Portrait of an Roman, Helgoland, marble, chiseled, Marble, chiseled, Total: Height: 29,4 cm; Width: 20,5 cm; Depth: 22 cm, sculptures, historical person, portrait, head, face, late Republican, The portrait shows an older bald man with an energetic facial expression. The lips are pressed together, the forehead is furrowed, the eyebrows are drawn together. Remarkable is the different elaboration of the eyes. The pronounced realism points to a late Republican portrait. The sitter was a contemporary of Caesar and thus belonged to the world-historically significant period of change from the Roman Republic to the imperial era. Possibly he was an important contemporary, because another head in the Musei Vaticani in Rome as well as the profile picture on a cameo correspond with this head. The head originally belonged to a life-size tomb or honorary statue, which has not been preserved or whose affiliation has not been recognized so far.
