Two marble portrait heads from a relief

Roman

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162

The sculptural style of these heads, characterized by smooth features and fashionable hairstyles, is one of refined Augustan classicism. The portraits, probably of mother and daughter, are from a funerary relief that might have included likenesses of other members of the family.
