Descrizione

A postclassical chalcedony bust of young Caracalla.


18th - 19th century (?).

H. 50 mm.

Bust of Caracalla as a child, of the type created in 198 A.D. for the designation as Augustus. This bluish chalcedony bust is inspired after the white marble (198-204 A.D.) from the Vestals' House at the Roman Forum (early 3rd century A.D., National Roman Museum Baths of Diocletian). The model can be identified not only for the typical features of the young Caracalla, but also for the peculiar shoulder belt, with S-shaped motifs (parazonium), and the cloak with chlamys, resting on his shoulder. After the antique. Probably made during the Grand Tour Era. Very good condition. Old deposits. Slight wear marks.

Provenance: english art market 1980s-1990s, than UK private collection, London
