Fresco from the Sala di Grande Dipinto, Scenes in the Villa de Misteri (Pompeii)

The faces are somehow both stoic and expressive. The flutist is throwing shade for sure.

Ancient Roman fresco

Near as I can find, from the Villa San Marco in Stabiae, near modern-day Castellammare di Stabia. I could not find the origin of this photograph.

HEGESO, DAUGHTER OF PROXENOS

ΗΓΗΣΩΠΡΟΧΕΝΟ

At left a slave girl stands, holding out a jewellery box for Hegeso, who has taken an item out of the box. The detail of the jewellery would most likely have been painted on. This monument acted as a funeral stele, and most likely comes from the Kerameikos, it is 1.58m tall and 1.00m wide. It is a low relief sculpture in the high classical style and dates to c.410- 400 BCE.

Athens, NM 3624.

As if I didn’t need another reason to love Artemis.

Look at that stance, look at all that sass.

Artemis has no time for your nonsense.
