Marble portrait of the Empress Faustina the Younger, wife of the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Culture: Roman. Dimensions: H. 13 1/2 in. (34.3 cm). Date: ca. A.D. 161-180.
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.
