Beautiful portraits, @slowwalker.

These anonymous people are preserved from the ravages of time and stare at us across the centuries.

You're right - their expressions are inscrutable making it impossible for us to decipher their inner thoughts or feelings, but it also makes them iconic - they are no one and Everyman...mere mortals rescued from the tides of time.

Have a good day, my friend :)
