EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic white-ground lekythos, a type of ancient Greek pottery. The lekythos is adorned with intricate artwork by the renowned Achilles Painter, who flourished between 470 and 425 BC. Standing at a height of 36.3 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The focal point of this artwork is a graceful woman elegantly holding a vessel for perfume in one hand and an alabastron in the other. Her serene expression and flowing attire suggest that she may be a servant or attendant fulfilling her duties during a funerary ceremony. The attention to detail on this ceramic piece is truly remarkable; every brushstroke seems to come alive as it tells its own story. From the delicate folds of her himation (cloak) to the carefully crafted features on her face, each element adds depth and realism to this timeless work. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to Laurium, Attica, where such lekythoi were commonly used as grave markers or offerings for deceased loved ones. This particular artifact serves as both an artistic treasure and historical relic—a testament to the skill and creativity of ancient Greek artisans. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art prints like these, we can now appreciate and admire this extraordinary piece from anywhere around the world.
