Gilded Bronze Mirror with the Three Graces in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2008

Gilded Bronze Mirror with the Three Graces in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2008
Gilded Bronze Mirror with the Three Graces
Roman, mid-2nd century AD

Accession # 1987.11.1

This mirror belongs to the same group as the adjacent one with Europa and the Bull (1978.11.4). The Three Graces were eminently suitable subject matter for a toilet article such as a mirror. However, they had a wider appeal and are found represented in many different media, including Roman mosaics and sculpture. A fine example of such a sculptural group is displayed in the Roman Court (L.1992.56.1).
