Color:

Her draped dress is very delicately sculpted, and the half-circle formed by it highlights her features. 10 similar portraits are conserved in Rome, Copenhagen, Dresden, Florence, Liverpool and London – this proves that this is the representation of a member of the imperial family. Therefore, this young melancolic woman would be Tranquillina, daughter of Timesitheus, famous for her beauty, her good character and her virtue. She married Gordian and became empress.

Musée Saint-Raymond (in English, Saint-Raymond museum) is the archeological museum of Toulouse, opened in 1892. The site originally was a necropolis, and in later constructions was a hospital for the poor and pilgrims, prison, student residence, stables, barracks and presbytery, eventually becoming a museum in 1891. It is housed in the former Saint-Raymond university college dating from the sixteenth century that borders Basilica of Saint-Sernin.
