Marble portrait of a young woman

Roman

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162

The hairstyle, deeply drilled eyes, and expression, all point to a second century A.D. date for this private Roman portrait of a young woman. Moreover, the high polish of the flesh and the oval shape of the looped knot of hair in the back are found on portraits associated with the court of the emperor Lucius Verus, who reigned from A.D. 161 through 169.
