Portrait Bust of a Woman (sculpture (visual works); Unknown Roman (Roman Artist); 150 - 160; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa (Malibu, Los Angeles...; 83.AA.44)

Note: A portrait of an unidentified Roman woman of mature years, presented in an idealized manner. Her hairstyle copies one worn by Faustina, wife of Antoninus Pius (reigned A.D. 138-161), which provides a date for the portrait. The carving and finishing of the portrait is of the highest quality, indicating that the sitter must have been someone of significant social status and wealth.
