"Portrait Bust of an Aristocratic Woman"1965.246_web
"Portrait Bust of an Aristocratic Woman" dates from 280-90 AD in the early Christian 3rd century. The portrait bust is made of Marble and the type of work is a sculpture. It can be viewed at the Med-Early Christian collection, located at the Department of Medieval Art at Cleveland Museum of Art in gallery 104 Late Antiquity. The dimension of the sculpture overall is 33.2x20x14cm (13 1/16x7 7/8x5 1/2in) and the weight is 6.123 kg (13.5lbs.).
What I found interesting in this sculpture is that it is clearly understood that it belongs to the elite social circle of that time. This can be understood from the hairstyle that it is orderly and worked with care. In my observation during this sculpture, I think that the age of the girl could be approximately 20. The face of the girl looks fresh, her facial lines are perfect, and her look looks innocent. I would also point out her outfit which looks simple but designed with a pattern.
The access number is 1965.246 and the credit line for this sculpture is given to John L. Severance Fund. The image can be also seen on the museum’s website.
