		Two portraits from the late first to early second centuries are similar in style to the Providence piece: the first- or second-century AD head of a boy now in the Princeton Art Museum (no. 52-63)
		These two examples are believed to represent youths of the imperial family.
		The Providence head and the Princeton and Baiae portraits share an approximate size, an age portrayed (around three or four years old), supple and fleshy rendering of portrait features, slight smile, flowing locks, and a seemingly similar lack of the customary obvious drill work in the hair and eyes.
