Mosaic Of A Young Woman

This portrait depicts a young Roman woman. The mosaic captures the sensitivity of her expression as she gently glances down to her left with her eyes closed. Her chestnut-colored hair is tied up in a half bun and her shadow is illustrated with progressively darker tesserae to the right. Two red brooches hold up her green robe by the shoulders. The background is split into shades of brown and beige stone.
