Terracotta cup: cow's hoof

Attributed to a painter recalling the Brygos Painter

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 157

Herdsman with two cows, god, and hare

Because landscape is rarely depicted on Attic vases, the amount of detail here is exceptional. Moreover, the herdsman's attire—shoes and a cap and cloak of fur or hide—suggests cold weather.
