Title |
Head of a Woman |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: In the first decades of the 4th century, artists further refined the representation of facial features: the eyes became more deeply set, the lower eyelid almost disappeared, and the lips and chin became more delicate. The serene expression, the triangular shape of the forehead, and the loosely carved locks of hair on this statue typify the 4th-century variations on the Classical ideal. The head is from a grave monument, and paint would have softened the roughened surface of the hair. |
