Terracotta squat lekythos (oil flask)

Attributed to the Washing Painter

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 159

Youth and woman

A young man in travel attire—a petasos (broad-brimmed hat) and a cloak—stands before a woman who holds up a wreath. As the youth is also shown with a wreath, we may infer that the painter has combined two successive moments in one picture.
