Septimus Severus is a 1855 photographic by Roger Fenton, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a stone bust. The man has a thick beard and curly hair, carved in detail. He wears a draped robe that falls over his shoulders. The bust sits on a simple pedestal. The photo itself looks old, with a faded, sepia tone. It was made in 1855, when photography was still new. Want to see more? Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
