The image shows a white marble bust of a woman, possibly a Roman noblewoman. The bust sits on a pedestal, which is displayed on a larger, rectangular platform. It is located inside the Museo Nacional de Arte Romano in Merida, Spain (Latitude: 38.981111, Longitude: -6.351667). The bust shows a woman with a gentle expression on her face. Her eyes are almond shaped. Her mouth is slightly open as if she is about to speak. Her hair is pulled back in a loose bun. The bust appears to be well-preserved with some minor wear and tear on the surface. The display case is in front of a dark, empty wall. A small plaque in front of the pedestal displays information about the sculpture in both Spanish and English. The text on the plaque discusses the lack of financial and legal independence of women in Roman society. The woman’s social status was defined by the man on whom she was legally dependent: her father, husband, brother, or guardian. The sculpture is titled "Private Portrait."
