This young man’s angular nose, bow-shaped mouth, and softly muscled body reflect the ideals of male beauty that prevailed in the fourth century BCE. His mantle, attached at one shoulder, suggests that he was a servant or enslaved person. This fragmentary portrait was likely part of a more complex scene; perhaps this figure accompanied his master in a larger composition.
