The head is recorded by two drawings, a frontal view and the left profile, part of a collection of '143 traced drawings, pencil drawings, watercolors, some glued on paperboard, in portfolio ; 50 x 29 cm or smaller', 19th Century, at the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut (Arachne Database no. 3463265 and 3463266).
Beginning in the Hellenistic period, sculptors began to glamorise the much earlier Archaic period by producing stylistically nostalgic works now called 'archaistic'. By the first century B.C., these archaistic types became widespread throughout the Roman Empire, reflecting Roman admiration of Greek artistic achievements, as well as demonstrating Rome's overtaking of Greece as the dominant political and cultural force in the Mediterranean. This head belongs to a type known from several extant examples. In scholarly literature, the type is referred to as “Brussels-Conservatori”; see H. Herdejürgen in M. Fano Santi (ed.), Studi di archeologia in onore di Gustavo Traversari, vol. 2, 2004, pp. 509ff. In this work, the sculptor alludes to the Archaic style of the korai with the symmetrical rendering of the curls and the sharp grooves of the almond shaped eyes. For similar, cf. M.D. Fullerton, Archaistic Style in Roman Statuary, Mnemoysyne, 1990, p. 156, no. 60.
