Old Fisherman, 2nd Century A.D. - a photo on Flickriver

            Vatican Museum

This was found in the Pamphilj excavations at Anzio; acquired in 1773. The basket of fish identifies this figure, similar to Greek portraits of Cynic philosophers, as a fisherman. This, however, is a Roman copy dating to the 2nd century and based on a Greek original, possibly in bronze, of the 3rd century B.C.
