EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the timeless beauty of a young woman believed to be Sappho, an ancient Greek poetess. Dating back to the Roman civilization in the 1st century A. D. , this painting on plaster measures 31x31 cm and was discovered in Pompeii, Italy. The image captures the front view of the young woman, her gaze fixed directly at the camera with a sense of confidence and intrigue. Her head and shoulders are elegantly framed within a circle-shaped picture frame, adding to the artistic appeal of this piece. Her hairstyle is meticulously styled, reflecting the fashion trends of that era. Holding a tablet and stylus made from wax, she exudes an air of intellect and creativity. This illustration and painting provides us with a glimpse into ancient Rome's rich literary culture. As we admire this remarkable artwork, we can't help but marvel at its preservation over centuries. The delicate details painted on plaster have survived through time, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic excellence. This print transports us back in time to witness one person - one young woman only - who has left an indelible mark on history through her artistry or perhaps even her poetry. It serves as a testament to human creativity transcending generations while reminding us of our connection with those who came before us.
