Domitia Calvilla

Hans Sebald Beham

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white portrait of a woman's head and shoulders. The woman faces left. Her hair is pulled back into a low bun on the back of her head, with curled strands framing her face. She wears a necklace with a circular pendant. The portrait is surrounded by a wreath made of tied branches with leaves. The image includes a date in the bottom-left corner: 1546. The artist's initials are in the bottom-right corner: IsB. The woman's name and a Latin phrase are written across the top: Domitia Calvilla, M. Ant. Imp. Mater. The background resembles textured paper.
