Marble Portrait of a Severan Woman in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007

Marble Portrait of a Severan Woman in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007
Marble portrait of a woman
Roman, Severan period, ca. 220-235 AD
Perhaps from the Wolfe Expedition to Assyria and Babylon in 1886.

Accession # X.125

The hairstyle follows a fashion set by the Severan court in the early third century. The pupils of the eyes were originally inset; the nose was broken and restored in antiquity.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
