Lot 723
Appealing Head of a Little Boy in Marble. Roman, probably Flavian, c. 70-95 AD. Perhaps an ornamental Cupid from a sarcophagus. The head juts almost straight out from a body that was in profile. The hair unfinished further back on the sides, indicating the child was crowded among several figures or other elements. The playful aspect of the child well conveyed, with his plump dimpled cheeks, a tentative smile, and carefully detailed eyes and brows. Marble nicely preserved, with minor remaining encrustations. Height: 3-3/8", on custom base.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,350.
