In this book, Sheila Dillon offers the first detailed analysis of
the female portrait statue in the Greek world from the fourth
century BCE to the third century CE. A major component of Greek
sculptural production, particularly in the Hellenistic period,
female portrait statues are mostly missing from our histories of
Greek portraiture. Whereas male portraits tend to stress their
subject's distinctiveness through physiognomic individuality,
portraits of women are more idealized and visually homogeneous. In
defining their subjects according to normative ideals of beauty
rather than notions of corporeal individuality, Dillon argues that
Greek portraits of women work differently than those of men and
must be approached with different expectations. She examines the
historical phenomenon of the commemoration of women in portrait
statues and explores what these statues can tell us about Greek
attitudes toward the public display of the female body.
