[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3333047, member: 85693"]Lovely portraits in this post. Faustina II portraits are interesting to me because of the range of styles - her earlier issues show her as a young woman, then she became more matronly after her marriage (and numerous pregnancies). Some of them are rather unflattering, at least by contemporary standards. Sometimes the workmanship is iffy too. This one I find very attractive, despite of, or perhaps because of, the wear. Laetitia on the reverse is rather elegant too - especially her hands and arms (although an apprentice apparently did the reverse lettering): [ATTACH=full]883108[/ATTACH] Here's a more mature portrait, with lots of babies on the reverse. These later portraits often show her somewhat hunched forward: [ATTACH=full]883116[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
