Cast Bust of a Classical Roman Youth -Vintage made by British Museum, London
This elegant plaster bust is a high-quality reproduction inspired by a Roman marble head, itself thought to be a copy of a 4th-century BC Greek original. The subject—a youthful male with delicately modelled features and intricately curled hair—reflects the classical ideals of beauty, strength, and se-renity that define ancient sculpture.
This cast may represent Herakles (Hercules) in his youth, as suggested by the cropped hairstyle and the subtle damage to the ear, a detail preserved from the original marble. It’s a faithful homage to the craftsmanship of antiquity, likely produced for museums or collectors seeking accurate historical rep-licas.
Mounted on a richly toned, faux-marble base, the resin bust stands as a commanding decorative piece suited for homes, studios, galleries, and design spaces that embrace classical influences.
Fine example of classical art and sculpture for those seeking timeless, sophisticated accents.
And for anyone inspired by the enduring aesthetics of ancient Rome and Greece.
