This unique pair of vintage classical-style portrait wall panels is inspired by the marble sculpture Herm: The Two Faces of Janus (Italian, late 18th century), housed in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. Featuring finely painted dual-profile busts. One masculine, one feminine these artworks echo the Roman god Janus, symbol of duality, transition, and time.

Painted in a monochrome grisaille technique, the portraits mimic the look of carved stone and exhibit light surface distressing consistent with age, adding to their antique character. These pieces are perfect for interiors blending neoclassical, grand European, or scholarly decorative themes.

Painting Pair (Framed): 47” H x 35.5” W x 1” D
