Just recently a fully painted bust was found at Herculaneum:

Herculanem Bust

But no photo in the article: anyone have an image of this?

No picture yet... but hopefully it will be published soon. I must confess it is still jarring to me to see painted busts and statues, the way they appeared in their ancient glory. But I certainly find it fascinating.

Spectacular!

She's still a beauty, despite the damage done to the bust by the eruption.
