Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt: Portrait of a Woman c.130-150 CE

Come face to face with portraits of Egyptians who lived during the Roman period and discover what role these images played in funerary rituals as well as what modern technical study can reveal about ancient artistic practices. Ancient artists from Roman-period Egypt created portraits on wooden panels to be placed on mummified bodies. The main technique used for these portraits was encaustic (wax) painting. The exhibition "Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt: Facing Forward," foregrounds scientific analysis and technical research conducted by staff in the Harvard Art Museums’ Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies. Featuring several painted portrait panels, sculptural portraits, and a linen burial shroud, this tightly focused exhibition asks visitors to reflect upon objects that represent the deceased and were once intimately connected with their bodies. The exact findspots and details of the excavation and dismantling of these objects were not recorded; and while the portraits present seemingly familiar faces, we can never fully know the people behind them. So what more can we learn from the objects themselves? In the "Portrait of a Woman," c.130-150 CE, this highly naturalistic mummy portrait depicts a young woman with deep brown eyes, arched brows, and a long pointed nose. Her dark hair is pulled back with only a row of small curls framing her forehead. Her jewelry is simple: small gold double-hooped earrings, each with a pendant pearl. She wears a deep purple tunic with green shoulder bands and maroon clasps all over a white undergarment, visible only at the neckline. This portrait can be attributed to the city of Antinoopolis on the Nile because of its characteristic shape, but its subject clearly has more cosmopolitan pretensions: similar hairstyles, clothing, and jewelry can be found in elite portraiture across the Roman Mediterranean. This portrait is on view in the Unversity Research Gallery between August 27, 2022–December 30, 2022. TAKE A CLOSER LOOK: Portrait of a Woman, c.130-150 CE, Egyptian Roman Imperial Period.
