Interior, two youthsExterior, obverse and reverse, men and youths
Kylikes predominate numerically in the oeuvre of the Eretria Painter, although they do not always represent his most innovative work. This cup shows the persistence of the theme of men and youths into the last quarter of the fifth century B.C. and the increasing looseness in the handling of the red-figure technique. Indeed, the magnificent palmette ornament is the most structured part of the decoration.
