Bust of a Roman emperor dated in the 19th century. It is inspired by the classical sculptures made in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, especially in Italy. These were based on those of the Roman Emperors, found in the Italian capital itself, in which different marbles were combined. Stylistically, the idealisation of the emperor stands out, a detail also inspired by these ancient examples, with a somewhat pictorialist treatment of the hair, which was also common on occasions.
