The length of the bust extends to mid-chest. Her head is turned gently to the left. She has an oblong face with a wide forehead and small chin. Her eyes are almond-shaped with thin lids. They are set beneath gently curved eyebrows that were originally lightly feathered. Her irises are lightly incised and the pupils are drilled. She has a small mouth with full lips. She has long bangs and her hair falls to the middle of her neck. It is composed of gentle waves with tiny struts between the locks. The lobes of her ears peak out beneath the long locks of hair. She wears a tunic underneath a stola that is fastened over the shoulders and palla (a style of mantle), which wraps around her shoulders and encircles the edges of the bust. The back of the statue is flat and only roughed out.There are minor abrasions on the surface and a small chip to the upper lip. The tip of the nose has been restored. The edges of the drapery folds have been damaged, as have some of the locks of hair framing the right side of the neck.Scientific Analysis:University of South Florida Lab No. 8441: Isotope ratios - delta13C +2.7 / delta18O -2.7, Istituto di Struttura della Materia - CNR Lab No. 13 (January 30, 2012): maximum grain size: 0.4mm; electron paramagnetic resonance: intensity 4.2%, line width 58.4%; color 84%Attribution - Göktepe 3, Turkey (near Aphrodisias).

The hair is combed over the forehead in straight bangs. The mouth is slightly open and the small chin hides a fold underneath. The bust was probably inserted in a herm as indicated by the tenon and plaster visible on the underside.Portraits of small children were popular in the Julio-Claudian period, but the fact that the bust is draped and includes more of the breast than is usual suggests that the portrait is to be dated in the later period. Portraits of the young Nero about A.D. 50 parallel this likeness of an unknown child in arrangement of the hair, drapery, and in stylistic details. Only the tip of the nose is missing; the edge of the drapery is chipped and the cheeks and right eyebrow show slight damage. The shiny, slightly pitted surface indicates that the bust was treated with acid to remove thick, brown burial accretions still visible at the back of the head and under the bust. The locks at the nape and back left side of the head were recut in antiquity.http://collections.mfa.org/objects/151336/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/675494/resize%3Aformat%3DfullBy the Wayside1877George FullerOil on canvashttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/31410/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/1020846/resize%3Aformat%3DfullCalm Morning1904Frank Weston BensonOil on canvashttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/34740/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/735514/resize%3Aformat%3DfullChild in Rocking Chair1876E.
