Item Description
A bronze bust on a turned sockel, the "Pseudo-Seneca", a copy of a Roman bust found at the Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum and one of a series of similar sculptures known since Renaissance times. It was hoped that this was a portrait of Seneca illustrating his Stoic qualities. However, another bust, in marble and inscribed with the name of Seneca, was later discovered, hence this bust, probably of a poet or a philosopher, is now more correctly known as the Pseudo-Seneca.
Italian, circa 1860, a souvenir of the Grand Tour.
h:10.5 inches
