Supposed Seneca bust
This bronze bust resting on a yellow marble pedestal represents the supposed portrait of philosopher Seneca: an elderly man with a bushy beard and moustache, wrinkles on his forehead, crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes, protruding cheekbones and emaciated cheeks, parted mouth, marked corners of the lips, messy hair with long shaggy locks. The head slightly turned to the right emphasizes the vitality of the gaze that intensely stares at the viewer. The folds of the neck and the hollow of the collarbones reinforce the realistic rendering of this portrait of a suffering man.
