The figure is shown full length, standing and turned to the left, a pose that follows the conventions of classical Roman statuary. Julius Caesar, the general and statesman who was assassinated in 44 BC, became a favored subject in the decades when this engraving was made, between 1820 and 1870. Engravings like this one circulated widely in books, academic volumes and collections of ancient sculpture, giving readers who could not travel to Rome or European museums a way to study the classical past. The record does not name the sculpture or the engraver, so the image is best understood as part of that broader interest in antiquity.
