Exhibited Etruscan Molded Terracotta Head of Woman TL'd

Item Details

Description

Classical World, Etruria (Central Italy), ca. 600 BCE. A terracotta bust in the classic Etruscan style, presenting a bust of a woman with an attractive visage comprised of delicate and strikingly naturalistic features, including mesmerizing doe-like eyes with delineated lids and partially perforated pupils, soft brows, an aquiline nose, pursed "heart-shaped" lips, a dimpled chin, elegant facial contours, and naturalistic ears adorned with ornaments - all topped by a wavy coiffure drawn back beneath the hood of her himation. In some ways, the ancients of the Classical World were not very different from us. Just like today, youth and beauty were idealized, and flawless facial features represented purity and innocence. An outstanding example from Etruria that still resonates with us today! Size: 7.75" L x 5.5" W x 9.25" H (19.7 cm x 14 cm x 23.5 cm)

Scholars have posited that Etruscan portrayals like this example probably did not represent individuals. Nevertheless, this bust and others like it have incredibly lifelike details; just look at those eyes and the suggestion of the skeletal and muscular structure of her neck! What's more, this visage would have been beautifully painted to imbue it with even more humanity.

Exhibition History: Michigan State University Art Museum in East Lansing, Michigan, USA (1985-1995); Ball State University Art Museum in Muncie, Indiana, USA (1995-2007).

This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.

Provenance: ex-Royal Athena Galleries, New York City, New York, USA; ex-K.B. collection, Detroit, Michigan, 1985 to 2007, acquired in Freiburg, Germany art market, 1985
