Hmm... he appears older, fatter and less happy in the second sculpture...but maybe that's just a matter of style.

I put up two pictures so that people could see the different ways he was portrayed.
I suspect that the first picture shows Ptolemy when he was younger. People, especially young men, like to be see as serious people.
The second sculpture is caricature, but it is entirely possible that he was happier once he declared himself pharaoh. Or it could be that the artist wanted to show Ptolemy as happy for whatever reason.
