His close-cropped hair is combed forward in artful waves, echoed in his short beard. While parts of the chest and shoulders have been lost, the projecting element underneath suggests this portrait was intended as a bust. Beards were uncommon in Rome until the emperor Hadrian (r. 117\u201338 CE) popularized them during his reign. This man\u2019s grooming is so similar to the emperor\u2019s that he was first thought to be Hadrian; however, the face is too angular. Wealthy and noble Romans would often depict themselves with the same styles as the imperial family.", "external_resources": {"wikidata": ["https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60763373"], "internet_archive": ["https://archive.org/details/clevelandart-1924.535-head-of-a-bearded-ma"]}, "citations": [{"citation": "\"Three Greek and Roman Heads.\" <em>The Bulletin of the Cleveland Museum of Art 11</em>, no. 9 (November 1924): 181-182.", "page_number": "Mentioned: p. 181-182; Reproduced: p. 178", "url": "https://www.jstor.org/stable/25136798"}, {"citation": "Bieber, Margarete, \"Roman Sculpture in the Cleveland Museum of Art\" <em>Art in America. </em>Vol. 32, No. 2: April, 1944. pp. 65-83", "page_number": "Reproduced Fig. 6", "url": ""}], "url": "https://clevelandart.org/art/1924.535", "images": {"annotation": null, "web": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_web.jpg", "width": "709", "height": "893", "filesize": "316973", "filename": "1924.535_web.jpg"}, "print": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_print.jpg", "width": "2701", "height": "3400", "filesize": "4494798", "filename": "1924.535_print.jpg"}, "full": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_full.tif", "width": "3996", "height": "5030", "filesize": "60330120", "filename": "1924.535_full.tif"}}, "alternate_images": [{"web": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_alt0_web.jpg", "width": "708", "height": "893", "filesize": "305892"}, "print": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_alt0_print.jpg", "width": "2696", "height": "3400", "filesize": "4312800"}, "full": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_alt0_full.tif", "width": "4232", "height": "5338", "filesize": "67801336"}, "date_created": "2009-03-13T13:40:41", "annotation": ""}, {"web": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_alt1_web.jpg", "width": "699", "height": "893", "filesize": "302778"}, "print": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_alt1_print.jpg", "width": "2660", "height": "3400", "filesize": "4494035"}, "full": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_alt1_full.tif", "width": "4023", "height": "5142", "filesize": "62088512"}, "date_created": "2009-03-13T13:58:45", "annotation": ""}, {"web": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_alt2_web.jpg", "width": "713", "height": "893", "filesize": "314145"}, "print": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_alt2_print.jpg", "width": "2714", "height": "3400", "filesize": "4476779"}, "full": {"url": "https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.535/1924.535_alt2_full.tif", "width": "4097", "height": "5132", "filesize": "63107280"}, "date_created": "2009-03-13T14:51:58", "annotation": ""}], "creditline": "Gift of J.
