His works were renowned for their musical accompaniment, making him a significant figure in the development of ancient Greek literature. The intricately carved marble bust showcases Anacreon's mature, thoughtful face with a well-groomed, graying beard, reflecting the wisdom and experience that came with his advanced age.
