In those years the story of the portraits we call Fayum portraits, which had begun more than two centuries earlier, was coming to an end: around the middle of the third century families stopped having the faces of their dead painted on panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painter worked in clean lines: the outline of the face, the thick eyebrows, the strong neck rising from the white tunic with its red stripe, the mantle on the shoulder. The result is a young and serious man who holds the gaze of whoever looks at him. The panel entered the Louvre in Paris in 1826, together with other portraits from the same city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a study it brings home one of the last faces of a tradition that lasted more than two centuries.
