Agrippa Postumus in the Louvre, June 2014

Agrippa Postumus in the Louvre, June 2014
Agrippa Postumus
(12 BC–AD 14)
Portrait modelled on the archetype made in AD 4 after the adoption of Agrippa Postumus by the emperor Tiberius (AD 14–37)
Provenance: Alexandria?
Basanite
H. 29 cm

In this naturalistic portrait, the sculptor has exceeded the requirements of official portraiture and brought out the touchy, proud character of the last of Augustus's grandsons.

Seymour de Ricci bequest, 1943
