Terracotta kylix (drinking cup)

Attributed to Makron

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 157

Interior, youth and girl dancing with krotala (castanets)

Makron excelled in depictions of conviviality of every kind, whether in the human or mythological realm. He also conveyed the rapport between figures with greater sensitivity than either the Brygos Painter or Douris. Here a young man watches a girl dancing. Although the composition may appear simple, even awkward, the juxtaposition is exceedingly expressive.
