Terracotta lekythos (oil flask)
Achilles Painter
ca. 440 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
Woman and servant The setting here is the interior of a house, probably the women's quarters an indicated by the stool and the oinochoe (jug) on the wall. The lady hands a bundle of garments to her maid. The women's clothing was originally painted. The color is gone, however, and one now sees the contours that the artist sketched in for reference.
