Fayum Mummy Portrait

These were usually encaustic paintings onto wooden panels, then inlaid into stone.

In this instance we have painted a sandstone with a fresco technique (rather than on to wood). De Ferranti are regularly asked to paint special commissions on marble, stone, wood and mica for their discerning clientele.

Dating from 1st – 3rd Century Roman Egypt.

Commissions have included door panels, wall tiles inset with portraits to distressed cofferred ceilings (no coffins yet).

De Ferranti’s perfect re-creations of Fayum portraits are available to special commission.
