Nude Male, Possibly Alexander the Great
(Roman Empire )
Nude except for boots and a cloak draped over the proper left shoulder and wrapped around the left arm, the man stands with his weight on the left foot, right leg free. His head is turned to his right, and the face is highly detailed. The way the curling hair is rendered is reminiscent of portraits of Alexander
