Thin-Faced Man Fayum Portrait in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007
Thin-faced Man
Ca. 140-170 AD
Encaustic on Limewood
Accession # 09.181.3
This man's intent direct gaze and parted lips make him seem restive. The remarkably free brushwork builds up forms without reliance on clear contours. The portrait has striking atmospheric qualities, such as the strands of seemingly damp hair that cling to the man's brow.
The gilding of the wreath and the background was added after the panel had been inserted into the mummy wrapping.
