A Classical Beauty in Profile was painted circa 1888. It relates to several paintings of the period, some which were entitled Poppaea (1887), Threissa (1888), Callirhoe (1889) or Meditation (1889). The pose, dress and figure of our picture most closely resemble Godward's 1888 painting The Engagement Ring in composition and manner. The brass snake armlet also appears in The Engagement Ring and The Pet Bullfinch (1890).
