专家说明

Depicting a mature woman, the sitter is portraited with signs of age, including heavy-lidded eyes, sunken cheeks and prominent naso-labial folds. Her elaborate coiffure of center-parted wavy hair is pulled back, braided and then coiled into a bun at the back of her head. This hairstyle confirms the Flavian date for this portrait. For a similar example, see the portrait in Copenhagen at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, no. 69 in F. Johansen, Katalog Romerske Portrætter II.
