Marble statue of a member of the imperial family. Roman 27 BCE–68 CE. x
This statue and the similar work, 2003.407.9 were probably part of a statuary group portraying and honoring members of the Julio-Claudian dynasty that ruled Rome from the time of Augustus to that of Nero. The stance of these partially nude figures brings to mind the canonic works of Polykleitos, one of the most famous Greek sculptors of the fifth century B.C., and was almost certainly intended to give a heroizing aura to the statues. It has been argued that the draping of the mantle around the hips and over the arm was a specific iconographic indication that the individual being honored was already deceased.

Today was portfolio day on Twitter! I wanted to post my favorite works on here as well since this is more my usual stuff, and some new followers have not seen them~
While I love doing mlp AU designs, I do miss drawing my ocs and more adult oriented pieces.
