Red-figure Hydria, Amycus Painter (c. 420–410 BC), author. Red-figure hydria on a high, profiled foot. The belly of the vase widens evenly toward broad, slightly sloping shoulders, from which rises a neck terminating in a wide, profiled rim. The neck is decorated with an ovoid at the base, above which is an ornament in the form of a band of leaves; the ovoid also surrounds the edge of the vessel's rim. The figurative representation is on the front of the vessel, on the belly and shoulders, above a band with a meander ornament. In the center is a naked youth seated on a rock. A male figure, shown in profile, turns back, leaning against a rock with his right hand; his left hand rests on his left knee. The youth is slender with clearly defined muscles. He is flanked by two female figures in lavish robes. The woman to his left holds a mirror, into whose reflection the youth gazes; on the opposite side, a woman holds a long branch topped with leaves in her right hand. Both females hold their left hands near the hip and lean slightly toward the ephebe. 420–400 BC (dating before the 2019 revision: 420–410 BC). Lucania. Vessel type: hydria. Weight: 2.056 kg.
