Hadrian’s Portrait in his Sixties - III

The bust, larger than life size, portrays the emperor Hadrian in old age. The gaze appears tired and almost resigned. His head, in lively movement to the left, appears characterized by a beard framing the oval of his face; his eyes are elongated and his mouth is closed. His hair is thick and arranged in locks around the forehead, the latter characterized by two deep wrinkles. Only a small portion of the bust remains; some soft folds of the garment and part of the upper edge of the cuirass are still visible. This statuary type is the so-called "Baia type". Its name derives from the bust of Hadrian found in Baia and preserved in the National Museum of Naples. Nineteen replicas of this type are known.
