The Seated Poet, Monte Calvo, 2nd century CE. Marble. Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (Copenhagen, Denmark). Made with Memento Beta (now ReMake) from AutoDesk.

An old man clad only in the shaggy cloak is seated singing as he strikes his lyre and taps his foot to the rhythm. This old poet was placed together with the statues of Anacreon and the Nine Muses.
