constitutes female beauty. Regularity
of features, without undue prominence
on the part Of any one, pIumpness of
face and form, medium hight, all parts
of the body in just and proper proper
ton, color and expression. are regard
ed as the main points of beauty, and
while some of these have received scru-
pulous attention from the ancient sculp-
tors when doing ideal work, one has
been notably neglected. Ancient port
rait busts are full of expression, and, in
this connection, it is a singular fact that
there is comparatively little difference
in the type of countenance between the
women of the time of the Caesars and
the women of our own age. When they
were representing in marble or bronze
the features of living women, the an
cient sculptors were true to life but the
moment they departed from the copy
set before them and attempted to ideal
ize they became meaningless. There is
not an atom of expression in the face of
Venus as it has come down to US in in
Vulnerable statues and busts; the feat
ures are irreproachable, but the face is
that of a doll, and the same lack of ex-
preston is observable in the Junos, the
Minervas, the MUSES., the Graces and
other ideal female faces which the
Greek and Roman sculptors preserved
for us in bronze and marble. In seek
inS to avoid positiveness of expression,
as in portraits, they lost all, and pre-
sented regular features, but nothing
more. While the ancient portrait busts
are, therefore, admirable, the ancient
ideal statues are largely destitute of
character. OF the truthfulness of the
busts we know nothing, and, indeed, it
is remarkable to notice how greatly the
portrait busts of the same man differ
from each other. There are ten or
twelve busts of julius Caesar, for in
stance, each so different from all the
others that it would be impossible to
Identify them as belonging to the same
man, and the same popularity may be
noticed in the case of several other cele-
brities of that age
