This expressive classical portrait is traditionally called Pseudo-Seneca. The National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) tentatively identifies the sitter as Hesiod, but that identification is unconfirmed. The name does not establish a portrait of Seneca the Stoic.
Deep set eyes, loosely arranged hair, and a spare shoulder form give the bust a contemplative character. Its shaped pedestal makes it a distinctive display for a library, study, or collection of ancient portrait sculpture.
The source model comes from a public domain scan of an SMK plaster cast, catalog number KAS94. Made to order by TheBustVault in PLA. Choose a 5, 9, or 12 inch height and an Ivory White, Marble Stone, or Charcoal Black finish. The size guide shows approximate dimensions for each height.
