Eversince its re-discovery in the Renaissance, Roman art and culture have fascinated and inspired Italian artists. The idea of such a glorious past gave them the will to reproduce its masterpieces. That is why aesthetic principles were taken over and applied to modern works. For example, this head could have been made in classical Rome, however it was made in the 18th century. This sculpture was part of the 2017 Old Master sculpture & Works of art sale at Sotheby's in London.
