Theodor Matham's etching "Bustes van Hadrianus en Antoninus Pius" is a detailed study of Roman Emperor Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. The etching depicts the busts of the two Roman emperors, with Hadrian's bust positioned above Antoninus Pius. Both busts are depicted with a detailed focus on their features, including the folds of their clothing. This work was created during the Golden Age of Dutch art, and demonstrates the artist's technical skill in representing the details of classical sculpture.
