A finely crafted multicolor marble bust of Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, representing the refined artistry of classical Roman portraiture. The emperor is depicted with his signature curly hair and full beard, rendered in high relief with remarkable attention to detail. His expressive features reflect strength and authority, with deep-set eyes and a stern gaze.
He is shown draped in a marble-rendered robe and adorned with an intricately carved chest plate, symbolizing his military prowess and imperial stature. The use of variegated marbles emphasizes the textures and tones of his garments and flesh, creating a lifelike and dynamic appearance.
This bust is a striking homage to Septimius Severus, who reigned from 193 to 211 AD and was the founder of the Severan dynasty. Perfect as a museum-quality decorative object or a significant piece for classical art collectors, this sculpture captures both the grandeur of Roman imperial iconography and the skill of traditional stone carving. Carved Early 20th century in Italy, during a revival period of neoclassical sculpture.
