By the end of the 4th century B.C., a new repertoire of terracotta figurines emerged. Appreciated for their naturalistic features, preserved pigments, variety, and charm, these figurines are known as Tanagras, from the site in Boeotia where they were found in great numbers. The majority of these figurines depict women or girls, reflecting an intimate examination of the personal world of mortal women and children.
