Isis-Priesterin, Sammlung Nahman, verloren, Maße unbekannt
“The date is unknown. The missing panel painting has come down to us in a black and white illustration. The woman is shown frontally. The dark, curly hair is piled high and falls to the shoulders. A wreath of flowers (?) lies over the forehead. The young woman is adorned with earrings and a braided necklace. There is a wide, sash-like garland over the left shoulder. The cloth tied over the right shoulder shows the Isis knot. With the right hand the woman presents a sistrum. The face is idealized, the large eyes seem to be looking at the viewer. The flesh is painted with soft shadows and highlights. The panel was originally framed, as evidenced by the painted edge on the upper edge and, as the decoration shows, it was used as a mummy picture. This fact suggests that it is not Isis but an Isis priestess who is depicted here.”
