Description
The identity of this bust has never been confirmed. The original, housed at the Kunsthistorisches Museum (ORIG1690), was written about by Votes in 1988; the work was formerly considered a barbarian, but the portrait has no traits that are found only in barbarians. The more common understanding is that the portrait depicts a philosopher or cynic.

I always wondered how sculpts would look like if painted. This started when I was told that the sculpts in the metope of Parthenon where painted and what remains today is the decoloured marble after many ages.
Some times I just try to paint, but in other cases, something provocative comes into my mind and I follow a more creative path. In any case, enjoy!
