Ceremonial Dressing Of A Lady Mosaic

Ceremonial Dressing Of A Lady Mosaic

This image features an ancient Roman mosaic known as the "Ceremonial Dressing of a Lady." In this mosaic, a lady from the landed gentry of the hinterland of Carthage is depicted. She is seated on a high-backed armchair and is surrounded by two ornatrix (maids) who are assisting her with her hair and makeup. The field in which this scene takes place is strewn with items for bathing and grooming. The lady's face, which is split in two, is reflected in a mirror presented to the viewer. This scene adheres to the canons of the "Venus at her toilet" theme, a common motif in Roman art. The mosaic dates from the mid-fifth century A.D. and was found in the floor of the ladies' changing room of the private baths at the Sidi Gherib villa in Burj Al Amri, Tunisia, North Africa. It is a remarkable piece of Roman art that offers insight into the grooming and ceremonial practices of the upper classes in Roman society.
