This print transports us back to Ancient Greece, where we witness a profound moment captured on a ceramic vase.

In the foreground, we see Orestes and Electra standing in front of their father's tomb, with Pylade by their side. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this 5th-century BC artwork are truly remarkable. The delicate brushstrokes bring life to the characters' expressions, conveying their emotions and inner turmoil. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of Greek artisans during this era. The significance of this particular episode lies in its exploration of themes such as family loyalty, vengeance, and justice.
