 general charm of the expression. In this type the artist has blended the beauty of both

 Traces of red colour remain in the hair, which Is encircled with an Ivy wreath. This 

 head is published In the Annall of the Roman Institute, 1875, pi. c, by M. Robert ; 

 it has evidently been detached from the body to which it originally belonged.

 special Interest on account of Its resemblance, both in type and exjDression, to the 

 Pourtales head of Apollo. Published, Annali of the Roman Institute, 1875, p. 27,
