Fayum 'Portrait L', also called 'Portrait of a woman with pearl earrings and emerald necklace', c.100 AD, one of the first Roman Egyptian mummy portraits discovered by archaeologist Flinders Petrie on 14th February 1888. Exhibited in galleries across Europe and the United States, 'Portrait L' enchanted generations of artists and writers, including the Dutch painter Lawrence Alma-Tadema, and it is also rumoured, Oscar Wilde, who soon after viewing it wrote his novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray', about a man whose beauty and soul becomes linked to a painting. The portrait was exhibited this week at Frieze Masters, London, and is currently offered for sale by ArtAncient gallery.
