The sculpture we reproduce is a bust of an unidentified Roman lady, possibly an empress. She wears a toga with carefully crafted folds. Such busts were widely used in 19th-century decor to create a distinguished and stately atmosphere.

Busts representing female figures from ancient Rome are testimonies of the aesthetics, status, and customs of their time. Sculpted in marble, these portraits convey the beauty of Roman ladies as well as realistic details of their faces.

Women depicted in imperial Roman sculpture usually belonged to the imperial family or nobility and were often represented with elaborate hairstyles, reflecting the fashion trends of their time. These hairstyles help date the busts through the various styles that evolved over time. The hairstyles were so complex that they often required specialized slaves for their creation.

Sculptures of these Roman ladies could be used for political propaganda, showcasing women of the imperial family as examples of virtue and piety. Female busts from ancient Rome are valuable pieces of art and history, offering a window into the daily life and society of the empire.

Decorating with reproductions of sculptures from classical antiquity, such as this bust of Roman empress, adds an elegant and sophisticated touch to home spaces, whether placed in interior settings like the living room or vestibule, offices, studies, and libraries, or in exterior settings, creating a special atmosphere in gardens and terraces.
