A modern marble bust of the emperor known as Caracalla, because of the type of cloak he wore. After a Roman sculpture found in the Baths of Caracalla, restored by Carlo Albacini, a student of Bartolomeo Cavaceppi (Farnese Collection). The head turns to the left bearing a severe frown and intense gaze. The hair and beard consist of thick, tight curls that frame the face. He wears an imperial mantle that leaves the shoulder strap of his armour exposed. Cavaceppi produced a small number of sculptures, only a few of which were signed. His Frowning Caracalla, now in the Getty Museum, provided the foundation for many additional copies by sculptors including Harwood and Delvaux. This bust was not part of Lord Burlington’s original collection.
