Funerary Portrait of a Woman

Cleveland Museum of Art

The portrait "Funerary Portrait of a Woman" by an unknown artist depicts a woman's face on a cracked and partially peeled painting surface. The woman has a yellowish-brown skin tone and dark hair, with a portion of it pulled back and the rest curled, framing her face. Her eyes are brown, and she wears earrings on both ears. The background behind her face is dark brown with lighter shades around her neck and shoulders. The painting surface appears to have a rough, canvas-like texture and the edges are rough and uneven. The image shows a close-up view of the portrait.
