Summary
Under life-size statue of Diana, the virgin goddess of the hunt. Roman head (first to second century AD) with neo-classical body (ca. 1750)? Head of Diana. The head is rendered with a classical hair style and facial structure, hair centrally parted and pulled back to a bun at the back of the head. Because it is thick and pulled back, the hair creates a voluminous frame around the brow.
