Book Review of The Female Portrait Statue in the Greek World, by Sheila Dillon

Abstract

In her introduction to The Female Portrait Statue in the Greek World, Sheila Dillon is careful to acknowledge that most of the material in the volume has been previously published. She is equally courteous when she recognizes the three studies—a short section in Smiths famous Hellenistic Sculpture (New York 1991); Eules new dissertation on images of women in Hellenistic Turkey (Hellenistische Bürgerinnen aus Kleinasien [Istabul 2001]); and Connellys important Portrait of a Priestess (Princeton 2007)—that each provide some measure of context for her own work.
