Private Roman Female Portraits: Reworked or Pieced?

Mark Hirst & Gina Salapata

Abstract

In this article we re-examine in detail a group of private Roman female portraits often considered to have been reworked through the chiselling away of all or part of the coiffure, followed by the addition of new updated portions. Our aim is to expand on Elizabeth Bartman’s criticism of the modern theory that Roman women followed fashions in hair so closely that they frequently commissioned the updating of the coiffures on their marble images. We argue instead that the appearance of these supposedly reworked images can better be explained in technical terms, as a result of initial piecing or later repair.

Bartman has recently sought to discredit the theory that private Roman women followed fash- ions in hair so closely that they frequently com- missioned the updating of the coiffures on their marble images.10 In her study, which concentrated on a group of private female portraits, predomi- nately Severan in date, with heads that were pre- pared to receive separately worked, detachable coiffures, she convincingly demonstrated the improbability of the theory that such hairpieces were made separately so that they could be eas- ily removed and replaced when the sitter wanted to update her coiffure in response to changing fashions. In particular, she noted that the exchange of one hairpiece for another would have been hampered by the considerable difference in hair length, relationship of hair to ears, and shape and size of the bun from one hairstyle to the next.11 An alternative explanation could be that the sculptor, striving for realism, acknowledged the wearing of a wig by his sitter by carving it sepa- Fig. 1.

Our aim is to expand on Bartman’s crit- icism of the modern idea, loaded with biased assumptions about female behaviour, that Roman women frequently commissioned the updating of the coiffures on their marble images. We argue instead that the appearance of these supposedly reworked images can better be explained in tech- nical terms, as a result of initial piecing or later repair. The examination of such portraits is not exhaustive but applies to a representative number of them.15 Fig. 2. Top view of head on fig. 1.

Although it is widely accepted that the first wind- ing was later roughened to receive an attach- ment,18 only two scholars have commented on what kind of attachment this might have been: Raissa Calza thought that the roughening of the surface was carried out for the application of an attachment in metal or stucco;19 and John Herrmann suggested that the head might have been updated with the addition of a fashionable crest of hair.20 Neither scholar, however, discussed what this addition might have looked like. Although the addition of a later attachment is clear, it is unlikely that this was done for the pur- pose of updating the hairstyle.
