Head of a Man

Source of record: Walters Art Museum (Egyptian) — catalogued by the holding institution. View the original record →

Description

<p>The care-worn facial features first seen on sculptures of King Sesostris III appear again in the royal sculpture of some of his successors. The faces on statues commissioned by and for private individuals share many of the conventions applied to the monarchs. Unlike some royal portraits, however, this official's mouth betrays a slight smile, lending it an air of dignified confidence.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/22.402' rel='external'>Head of a Man</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
