Terracotta squat lekythos (oil flask)
Washing Painter
ca. 430–420 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
Youth and woman A young man in travel attire—a petasos (broad-brimmed hat) and a cloak—stands before a woman who holds up a wreath. As the youth is also shown with a wreath, we may infer that the painter has combined two successive moments in one picture.
