Busto Ritratto Femminile 1

sketchfab

The female portrait of an ingenuous character can be dated to the Antonine age, first half of the 2nd century A.D., its provenance is unknown. The noblewoman portrayed with Himation and tunic has wavy hair with a central lash, traced with a long braid that goes back to a donut on her head, separated from the rest of her story by a ribbon tied in front. Her portrait bears a close stylistic resemblance to the portrait of Empress Faustina Maggiore, wife of Emperor Antoninus Pius.
