The bronze statue of Agrippina Minor on the left is depicted pulling her veil over her head, a gesture of humility and religious devotion. She was the daughter of Germanicus, a war hero, the sister of Caligula, and the mother of Nero.

On the right is the statue of Antonia Minor, mother of the emperor Claudius (AD 41-54), depicted unveiled but with her hands held, palms upwards, in a typical gesture of a religious offerant.

Both statues were discovered in Herculaneum's amphitheater on August 19-20, 1750.

Roman, ca. mid-1st century CE.

Roman writers characterized the Roman empress Agrippina the Younger (A.D. 15 - 59) as a scheming power-hungry woman (they were all men, writing well after her death). Born into the extended Imperial family, daughter of the popular war hero Germanicus, and a sister of the emperor Caligula, Agrippina increased her power and status by marrying her uncle Claudius, the reigning emperor, in A.D. 48. She urged her new husband to make Nero, her son by a previous marriage, the heir to the throne. He agreed and in A.D. 54, Claudius died. It was rumored that his wife had poisoned him. She wielded extensive political power in the early reign of her son, who was only 17 years old when he took the throne. By A.D. 59, however, Nero was tired of his meddling mother and had her killed. He was clearly an ungrateful child.

Portraits of Agrippina were produced during the reigns of the emperors Caligula, Claudius, and Nero. They fit an overall style used for depicting the reigning Julio-Claudian dynasty. Although the portraits of the male members of the dynasty became more naturalistic over time, the women retain an ageless, classicizing style enlivened by elaborate coiffures. Agrippina is distinguished by her narrow face (although it's more square here), dimpled chin, and protruding upper lip. She wears her hair parted in the middle and pulled back, with tight curls surrounding her face.

Roman, about 50 CE.

This portrait is displayed at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek and depicts Agrippina the Younger (wife of emperor Claudius and mother of Nero - emperor Claudius was also her uncle and she was his fourth wife, but it was an alliance that was questioned already back in the day, much due to their close kinship; and Roman historians tell that it was her own son, Nero, that had her murdered in a power-struggle). The head, made of graywacke, dates to the reign of Nero 54-68 A.D. and may very well be posthumous, she died in 59 A.D.

On the state of preservation, the head was clearly apart of something bigger (can't say if it was a bust or a larger statue), and I would assume the damage to her hair is because something was attached there, perhaps some sort of metal diadem which has been taken off, or destroyed, later.

It wasn't my initial intention to photograph these. I just hid myself from the heat, it was +40C and I ran into shade but since I was sitting there, restoring some bits of energy, I thought of just laying the camera next to me, on the seat/step and play with front standard to place everything into the frame. I wasn't the only one catching breath...

Louvre - Agrippine la jeune (vers 44 PCN)

Agrippine Mineure

Piazza della Signoria is a true open-air museum!

In it we find several statues of various periods, the most famous being the great David of Michelangelo! The largest nucleus is under the protection of the so-called Loggia dei Lanzi, or Loggia della Signoria. It was built in the 14th century in late Gothic style by Benci di Cione and Simone Talenti with the function of hosting the assembly and public commemorations. Only in the 16th century, with Grand Duke Cosimo I did it begin to be decorated with statues.

On the Loggia façade below the parapet are trefolis with allegorical figures of the four cardinal virtues (fortitude, temperance, justice and prudence) by Agnolo Galddi. The enameled blue background is the work of Leonardo, a monk, while the golden stars were painted by Lorenzo de Bicci.
