| Description Of Item | This bust offers a classical depiction of Hippocrates, with his chest and shoulders left undraped. This piece contrasts with the two identical busts of Hippocrates which are also found in the College's collection. Whilst all three are of a classical style this bust differs in its lack of drapery alongside its more unrestrained depiction of Hippocrates' hair and facial features, which are deeply lined.
A full statue of Hippocrates is also found on the principle façade of the College, visible from Queen Street. As well as this Hippocrates appears in a front facing portrait in the frieze in the Great Hall.
