Patrician Torlonia

Bust No. 535 of the Torlonia Collection, also called the Patrician Torlonia or the Old Man of Otricoli, is a marble bust, sometimes said to portray Marcus Porcius Cato Censorius, though also noted as being of "an unknown Roman politician". It is a copy of a Tiberian era bust (1st century AD), itself thought to be a copy of an original dating from around 80–70 BC. The piece is executed in the late republican portrait style later known as verism, which "emphasize[s] the physical signs of aging... as evidence of an individual's experience, character, and virtues".
