Ancient Roman Marble Portrait Head of a young boy. 20 cm H. 1st - 3rd century AD. Nice face.
PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN
Roman Empire, 1st - 3rd century AD
Material: Marble.
Dimensions: 20 cm height without stand.
Condition: Goos state of preservation. Without restorations.
Provenance:
- Private collection, Paris, France, 1980.
Roman sculpture head, in marble, with a frontal carving work. It represents an ephebe or infant with soft features, full lips and small ears. The oval is framed by kinky hair, which is slightly curled and falls naturally on the forehead. The quality of the piece can be appreciated in the details: the curve of the ears, the eye socket, the drawing of the lips? The eyelids delicately cover the almond-shaped eyes. The eyebrows trace a harmonious arc with the nose. It is resolved with an idealizing language and Hellenistic influence.
