The portrait depicts a young boy, and is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1] HistoryThe portrait depicts a young boy, who is named as "Eutyches, freedman of Kasanios" by an inscription on the portrait. The work was produced after the boy's death, and as such the image is classified as one of the Fayum mummy portraits.[2] Such mortuary portraits were popular as an artistic medium in the first century A.D. during the Roman Empire's rule over Egypt, which was dominated by an upper class of ethnic Greeks. This blending of Roman, Greek, and Egyptian cultures in the imperial province of Egypt resulted in a unique art form that drew influences from Classical Greece and Egypt while at the same time utilizing materials provided by Rome's flourishing economy.[1][2] On displayPortrait of the Boy Eutyches was donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Edward Harkness in 1918. The portrait is currently on display at the museum.[1]DescriptionPortrait of the Boy Eutyches exemplifies a fusion of Classical Greek-inflected portrait painting methods, Roman garb, painting materials, and the historical Egyptian reverence for the dead. The portrait, done in encaustic paint on wood panel, was intended to be placed on the face of deceased after they were mummified. Unlike some earlier mummy portraits, Portrait of the Boy Eutyches is noted to be heavily influenced by Greco-Roman artistic tradition as opposed to Egyptian.[1][3]The portrait makes use of light and dark colors coupled with broad brush strokes to model the boy's face. The olive background of the panel is used to contrast the subject's deep tan complexion and dark hair, as well as to create a sense of depth. The image depicted by the portrait is lit by an intra-painting light source to the boy's right; this can be inferred through the reflections present in the boy's eyes. The boy is dressed in white garb.[1] Bibliography
