English: A bearded man gazes out from this Romano-Egyptian mummy portrait. His hairstyle and beard follow the court fashion of the Antonine dynasty, suggesting that this portrait was painted around A.D. 150 to 170. He wears the typical garments of tunic and cloak. This portrait is a good example of the encaustic technique used for many mummy portraits. The thicker applications of paint on the man's face and hair, especially on the right side of the face and on the eyebrows, show the marks of the cestrum, a tool similar in function to the modern palette knife, which gave texture to the paint surface - J. Paul Getty Museum.
