Front view of the bust of Domitian. The drawing is in portrait format. It is framed in ink. Inscriptions are visible in the margins. The left part of another portrait is still visible on the right of the drawing.
This is a three-quarter-turned bust of the emperor Domitian. His oval face reveals a pronounced nose and thin lips. His curly hair is adorned with a laurel wreath. He is wearing a drapery held in place by a fibula.
