General description by the museum's website (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

It was not uncommon to depict portrait sitters in the guise of a vestal virgin: many young women were shown thus when they were about to marry. The vestals were Roman guardians of the hearth and house chosen for their youth and purity; hence the presence of what might have been a table but is instead a brazier. The gold-trimmed robe is not contemporary dress but a costume, and the way in which the young woman lifts the veil is typical for the subject.

Structured artist information

Select your material

For every fine art print we offer a range of different materials & sizes. That is why, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Glossy acrylic glass print: The acrylic glass print, often named a print on plexiglass, changes the original work of art into gorgeous home decoration and forms a distinct alternative option to canvas or dibond art prints. The major benefit of an acrylic glass art print is that contrasts and details will be more recognizeable due to the very fine gradation. Our plexiglass with real glass coating protects your chosen art replica against light and heat for several decades.
• Canvas: A printed canvas material applied on a wooden stretcher frame. A canvas has the extra effect of three-dimensionality. A printed canvas of this artpiece will let you turn your new into a large work of art as you would see in a gallery. A canvas print has the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without the help of any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
• Aluminium dibond (metal print): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print material with a true effect of depth. A direct Aluminium Dibond Print is the ideal start to fine prints with aluminum. This UV print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly modern way to showcase fine art reproductions, since it draws attention on the whole artwork.
• Poster (canvas material): The poster print is a UV printed canvas paper with a fine surface finish. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of something between 2 - 6cm round about the print motif, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.

The product

Legal disclaimer: We try whatever we can in order to depict our products with as many details as possible and to showcase them visually on the respective product detail pages. Nonetheless, the colors of the print materials and the imprint can diverge marginally from the presentation on your screen. Depending on the settings of your screen and the condition of the surface, not all color pigments will be printed as realistically as the digital version depicted here. In view of the fact that all fine art prints are printed and processed by hand, there may as well be minor discrepancies in the size and exact position of the motif.
