This portrait is of a young woman wearing a purple gown; her gold earrings are adorned with pearls and the chain round her neck casts a shadow on her skin. Her hair is combed back.

She has an oval face, thick curved eyebrows and large deep brown eyes that express sadness.

The style of the portrait and the form of the earrings indicate that the portrait was painted during the period in which Antoninus Pius ruled (middle of the second century A.D.).
