The bust of Caracalla in the Vatican Museum is one of the most famous portraits of an emperor in antiquity. The original was created following the assassination of Geta in 212 AD.
It was a major source of inspiration from the Renaissance onwards, and was frequently studied as part of artistic training, notably at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, which owned a copy. This academic drawing could be one of these studies, but it could also be a piece drawing by an artist who made the trip to Rome.
