Marble head of a baby

Roman

Not on view

Portraits of small children are not uncommon in Greek and Roman art. Here, however, the subject is not a small child, but, rather, an infant. The full cheeks and the still scarcely articulated chin and jowl indicate that the baby can be only a few months old.
