Terracotta lekythos (oil flask)
Attributed to the Achilles Painter
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.
