The dark haired Pompeian beauty is shown frontally and half-length, gazing directly at her admirers. She wears a golden necklace, a faithful copy of a fifth-century Greco-Etruscan original, and a sheer purple dress with a golden-coloured tunic. A green drape fills the background. While the picture is shamelessly direct it is also a tender evocation of young womanhood. [Christie’s, London - Oil on canvas, 61 x 51 cm]
