5th Century C.E. Roman Marble Bust of a Boy – Carved in the Round, Ex-Private Naples Collection

5th Century C.E. Roman Marble Bust of a Boy – Carved in the Round, Ex-Private Naples Collection

This sensitive and finely carved Roman marble bust of a young boy dates to the 5th century C.E., capturing the naturalistic modeling and quiet introspection characteristic of late Imperial portraiture. Executed in solid Carrara marble and carved fully in the round, the figure was once part of a larger sculptural grouping, likely devotional or commemorative in purpose.

Now mounted on a custom Lucite base for stability and display, the bust was acquired directly from a private collection in Naples, underscoring its authentic provenance and regional significance. A poignant and refined example of ancient Roman sculpture, it embodies both the emotional realism and artistic legacy of the late classical world.
