499783 Funerary Portrait of a Man, c.138-192 (encaustic on linen) by Egyptian School, (2nd century AD); 24.8x19 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: So-called mummy portraits were apparently painted during the owners\' lives and hung in their homes. At the time of the owner\'s death, the portrait was taken down, cut from its frame, and trimmed to fit the deceased\'s mummy, to which it was bound. It was at that time also that the gilding on the centre painting was added. ); John L. Severance Fund; Egyptian, out of copyright.
