The male figure is facing right and characterized by high cheekbone, straight nose, thick eyebrow and lidded eye. Hair and beard are rendered with various trick lines enhancing the volumes. His forehead is surmounted by a large laurel wreath, tided back by a knot. The bust is covered by a cloak; on the shoulders appears the armour. This portrait reminds the features of the roman emperor Antoninus Pius. Large size. Vivid color and wear marks.
