Greek Attic Black-Figure Trefoil Oinochoe Nude Athlete

Item Details

Description

Ancient Greece, Athens (Attic), ca. 5th century BCE. Finely decorated via the black-figure technique with incised and added fugitive red painted details, a beautiful oinochoe of a traditional form with a trefoil lip and a single, high loop handle joining the rear of the spout to the shoulder of the piriform body, all upon a concave discoid foot. The iconographic program occupies a single large panel and features a nude male figure, probably an athlete, depicted striding toward his right with arms bent at the elbows and legs bent at the knees, his overall form presented in composite profile and flanked by two cloaked figures, both of whom appear to be holding a towel or garment for the athlete. Above the trio is a dotted motif, perhaps to represent grapes and reference Dionysos, the Greek god of wine and fertility. A wonderful Attic black-figure oinochoe, boasting impressive artistry! Size: 2.875" W x 5.75" H (7.3 cm x 14.6 cm)

Provenance: private Honolulu, Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Patricia Whithoff collection, London, UK, before 2000
