"Portrait of the Boy Eutyches" is a Fayum mummy portrait, a type of ancient Roman portrait painting created in the Fayum region of Egypt, that is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Fayum mummy portraits are characterized by their realism and the way they capture the individuality of the deceased. The painting depicts a young boy, possibly Eutyches, with a lifelike portrayal of his features and expression, with a focus on the eyes. These portraits were meant to serve as a visual representation of the deceased for their loved ones and were placed over the face of the mummified body.
