The Getty Villa: Back to Portraits!

This display was in a smaller room.  I am not certain why I liked it so much.  Perhaps it was the chance to see so many busts and surviving fragments at one time. 


But, this was the piece that caught my eye. 

Rather than a solid block of marble, this was very thin.  Almost a mask.  I was actually amazed it survived to be found without being shattered.
