Terracotta skyphos (deep drinking cup)

Attributed to the Painter of London E 777

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Obverse, youth and man
Reverse, two youths

The figures here give the impression not of human beings in motion but rather of animated sculptures. Their proportions and poses—two open with arms outstretched, two closed—make the decoration an unusually interesting academic exercise.
