Hierapetra, statue of a young Roman 50 BCE

"The second picture shows the bronze statue of a young man who lived in Ierapytna, Crete (now called Ierapetra); it was a funerary monument on his tomb. The statue’s features, such as its posture and clothing are typical of the style that was common at the time. The most striking is the face, with its sorrowful expression, also typical of a period when realism and the expression of passion were foremost among artistic trends."
