Crafted by the European School in the 18th century, this artwork is a testament to their mastery and attention to detail. The portrait captures Theocritus' profile with remarkable precision, emphasizing his dignified presence and intellectual prowess. The poet's bearded face exudes wisdom and experience, while a wreath adorns his head as a symbol of his literary achievements.
