South Italian Fragment of a Female Head in the Getty Villa, July 2008

South Italian Fragment of a Female Head in the Getty Villa, July 2008
Fragment of a Female Head
Greek, made in Taras, South Italy, 440-430 BC
Terracotta

Inventory # 82.AD.93.1

Even though only a fragment of this head remains, it shows the power of highly skilled sculpting. Both the upper and the lower eyelids are carefully detailed, and the lips are full and sensuous. These elements are characteristic of the naturalistic style of sculpture executed during the Classical period (480-323 BC).
