This image shows a white marble bust of Demetrios Ypsilantis. He is wearing the formal uniform of an early 19th-century general, complete with a sash, epaulettes, and a high collar. Demetrios sports a mustache as well, and his head is tilted so that he appears to be looking towards the right from the perspective of the viewer. Demetrios Ypsilantis was a prominent figure in the Greek War of Independence, but he arguably gained even more fame in the United States, where he was also revered as a hero by many. The town of Ypsilanti, Michigan, where this bust is located, is also named in honor of the Greek general.
