Fragmentary portrait of a woman
View through Harvard Museums
Although difficult to characterize because of its fragmentary nature, the portrait depicts a young woman. The woman looks forward with large brown eyes that are delicately rimmed with thick lashes. The figure's black-brown hair is parted in the center and pulled back from her face with visible rows of herring-bone pattern painted in thick, dark pigment to suggest plaited rows.
