Marble Portrait of the Empress Faustina the Younger in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2008

Marble Portrait of the Empress Faustina the Younger in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2008
Marble Portrait of the Empress Faustina the Younger Wife of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius
Roman, Antonine period, 61-80 AD

Accession # 1986.41

The well-formed, but rather puffy features, the prominent eyes, and the deeply waved hair exemplify mid-Antonine standards of beauty and are identifying traits of this empress.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
