Large French Stone Bust of Emperor Caracalla, 1940s

About the Item

Imposing and evocative, this large stone bust captures the stoic intensity of Emperor Caracalla, one of ancient Rome's most infamous figures. Created in 1940s France, the sculpture expertly channels the spirit of classical antiquity with a bold, expressive visage that reflects the emperor's commanding presence.  Crafted with meticulous detail, from the textured curls of his hair to the flowing folds of his drapery, its aged patina and robust stone construction add gravitas, making it a statement piece.
