Antique Male Portrait Bust, Italian, Plaster
This is an antique male portrait bust. An Italian, plaster figure after Doryphorus by Polykleitos, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1900.
A classic Roman sculpture, the Doryphorus or Spear-bearer is a later copy of the original bronze by Greek sculptor Polykleitos, adapted from his written work on figural proportion known as Canon. The Roman statue is believed to have been crafted before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79CE and endured as a lasting veneration of Greek arts by Roman society.

Quality plaster work with a lightly weathered appearance
Facial features and hair nicely rendered in crisp cream hues
Presented upon a square socle with protective green baize
Tactile and substantial in the hand with a weight of 3.52kg (7.76 lb)
