The image is a photograph of a marble bust of a man's head. The bust is displayed on a pedestal in a museum, with other sculptures visible in the background. The man's face is in profile, with a prominent nose and a prominent mouth. He has a beard and mustache, and his hair is styled in a curly, wavy manner. His eyes are closed, and he appears to be deep in thought. On the pedestal, there is a plaque with text that reads "Portraits of the Roman Empire."
