The faint growth of hair on the jaws and upper lip identify the subject of this painting as a youth. Remarkably, his right eye seems to show signs of an abnormality that has been treated. The grayish fold of skin below the lower lid, the lack of lashes, and the slightly slack right cheek may be traces of the abnormality; the straight line on the lower lid suggests a surgical cut to relieve the condition. The palette of this panel is considerably lighter than that of the other panels in these galleries, but it does resemble that of certain paintings from Hawara in the Fayum.
La tenue barba y el escaso bigote de este retrato identifican al sujeto de esta pintura como a un joven. Sorprendentemente, su ojo derecho muestra signos de una anormalidad que ha sido tratada. La grisácea piel doblada debajo de su párpado inferior, la falta de pestañas, y el ligero descuido de la mejilla derecha pudieran ser efectos de la anormalidad. La línea recta en el párpado inferior sugiere una intervención quirúrgica para tratar la condición. La paleta de este panel es considerablemente más tenue que la de los demás paneles de esta galería, pero se asemeja a ciertas pinturas procedentes de Hawara en Fayum.
Estos retratos se colocaban en los sarcófagos egipcios bajo la dominación del Imperio Romano.
La tecnica que usaban era el encausto que consistía en pintar con cera de colores fijándola con calor sobre la tabla.

I drove by the church after having my brows, upper lip, and chin waxed. Mary Clark styled my hair differently by using the blow dryer and curling iron.
After taking many photos of the men/woman working, I stopped by U.S. Nails for a pedicure. I especially wanted them to remove a corn from the side of my left foot.
It’s been a good day, but I still haven’t graded any papers yet.
